Jack Antonoff plans to establish free public recording studios in LGBTQ+ youth shelters nationwide, aiming to make professional music recording accessible to those who cannot afford traditional studio time.

The initiative will include:

• A network of funded engineers to provide training
• Full maintenance and engineering support
• Managed time slots distributed by the centers
• Future expansion into various cities

Antonoff emphasizes the unique value of professional studio environments, noting that while home recording technology has advanced, the studio experience offers:

• Access to analog gear
• Creation of unique, impossible-to-recreate sounds
• Time-limited creative pressure that enhances productivity
• A specialized environment that fosters creativity

The project specifically targets individuals who cannot afford commercial studio time. Antonoff is actively seeking collaborators with resources to help launch this initiative, encouraging interested parties to reach out via email.

This announcement comes as Antonoff prepares for Bleachers' upcoming show at Madison Square Garden and following his production work on the new Bartees Strange album.
