About
Our Story
A 2020 vision for an experimental music school, grown into a high-desert nonprofit sanctuary for sound.
A Vision of Sound and Creativity
The Dream Factory Sound Sanctuary was conceived in 2020 as a bold vision to create an experimental music school—an immersive space where sound design tools from across the world would be gathered in one place and made accessible to artists of all backgrounds. What began as an idea has since grown into a thriving nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering musical creativity and innovation.
A Growing Collection of Musical Tools
Since our inception, generous donors have contributed over $475,000 worth of music equipment, forming the foundation of our unique creative suite. Our collection is rich in synthesizers, stringed instruments, keyboards, experimental sound tools, and more, offering artists an unparalleled opportunity to explore and innovate.
Building a World-Class Studio & Residency
We've built a strong foundation in creative sound design, and it now anchors a working recording studio and artist residency. We host musicians for short-term residencies — lodging, meals, studio time, and engineering support — while continuing to expand our professional gear, software, and facilities to welcome more artists and deepen the experience for every resident.
Future Expansion & Long-Term Goals
The Dream Factory is always evolving. Our long-term vision includes acquiring land to build a larger, purpose-driven creative sanctuary—a space where artists can fully immerse themselves in their craft, surrounded by cutting-edge tools and a supportive community.
