A little more about the music
Find your place in the music.
Burnt Chapati puts creators first and builds a different circle around every project. This page helps us understand where you may enter that circle.
Your signal
A project network is only as precise as the people inside it.
Burnt Chapati does not ask every person to arrive as the same kind of applicant.
You may bring a song, an instrument, a production method, a research question, a room, an audience path or a resource. What matters first is naming the contribution honestly and connecting it to a real intention.
Your creator profile introduces your roles and skills to Burnt Chapati. It is not a talent score, an audition result, active membership or a promise that a project will follow. Choosing a musician role does not grant access to other people’s projects.
Roles
Choose the roles that describe the work you are ready to carry.
You can be multidisciplinary. The useful signal is accuracy, not the number of categories selected.
Composer
Bring music, lyrics, structure, repertoire or another originating act of authorship.
Producer
Shape arrangement, sound, sessions, people and the route toward a finished recording.
Musician
Bring instrument, voice, interpretation, improvisation and practice to a defined musical need.
Engineer
Carry recording, editing, mixing, mastering or another precise technical responsibility.
Researcher
Bring a question, method, archive, language or traditional-arts context into responsible inquiry.
Promoter
Bring a credible audience, room, programme and local production context for live work.
Investor
Propose project support subject to separate diligence and written terms; no investment is offered here.
Intent
Your next action is more revealing than a broad biography.
Choose the route closest to the conversation you want now. Burnt Chapati can ask whether another path fits better after review.
Create or record
Bring original music or a production proposition that needs the right working circle around it.
Book or stage
Bring a venue, festival, institution or programme context for a Show or Concert conversation.
Research or archive
Bring a practitioner-led question to an R&D initiative that remains in development and open to proposals.
Fund or partner
Bring a defined capability or resource for project-specific assessment rather than a generic transaction.
Present stage
Tell us where the work is—not where you think it must appear to be.
Stage describes the evidence available for a first review. It is not a quality grade or a promise that Burnt Chapati will move the work into production or release.
- Idea
- A musical premise, voice note, research question or live concept still looking for its strongest frame.
- Demo
- A reviewable draft that communicates direction without claiming finished production.
- Production
- Work is underway and its current contributors, materials, dependencies or decisions can be identified.
- Release-ready
- You believe the public object is prepared for review; Burnt Chapati still makes an independent assessment.
Describe the stage that is true today in your project introduction or private conversation.
Routing
A few precise inputs create a useful first direction.
- 01
Role
Names the kind of contribution you expect to bring into a project network.
Who you are in the work - 02
Intent
Connects your introduction to creative work, live presentation, R&D or partnership.
What you want now - 03
Stage
Shows what evidence exists and which question is likely to matter first.
Where the work stands - 04
Context
Adds location, a relevant link and the detail that structured choices cannot hold.
What we should understand - 05
Suggested path
Start a song on Create, use your workspace for projects, or use the contact routes below for live work, research and partnerships.
Not a decision
Your profile
Map what you bring. Give it a real context.
Share a display name, roles, musical skills and an optional introduction or portfolio link. Your email stays private.
Sign in using the workspace above to save your profile. Recordings belong in your private projects; general proposals can use the contact routes below.
Introduction brief
Specific beats impressive-sounding.
A concise introduction can carry depth when it helps us understand the contribution and the next decision.
| Input | Useful signal | Avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Identity | A chosen display name and a private sign-in email you can access | An identity no one can use to continue the conversation |
| Roles | Every role that reflects your intended work | Selecting categories only to appear broadly relevant |
| Intent | The immediate action you want to explore | Several unrelated requests with no priority |
| Stage | The honest state of the work today | Inflating readiness to sound more advanced |
| Reference | One relevant link you may legitimately share | Passwords, sensitive files or inaccessible drives |
| Context | The premise, current people, constraints and next question | A long biography without a concrete signal |
A creator profile introduces you. Project terms and any membership decision remain separate.
Human review
We review the proposed relationship—not a manufactured score.
Creative or practical purpose
The introduction makes clear what the applicant wants to create, present, research or enable.
Legible contribution
The role, method, resource or responsibility can be understood without filling gaps with assumptions.
Honest readiness
The stated stage and supplied evidence create a credible basis for the next question.
Creator-first alignment
The proposed interaction can respect creative intent and shared participation inside a project network.
Present capacity
The introduction can be considered against the work and attention available at the time of review.
These principles are not a points system. Review may lead to a question, approval, rejection or no immediate project conversation.
Existing memberships
Application, approval and activation are three different moments.
The earlier membership programme keeps its private review process for existing records. These states describe membership, not your creator account. Signing in or saving a profile does not apply for or activate membership.
- 01
Pending
An existing pending application has a reference and remains in private review. Membership is not active.
Introduction received - 02
Approved
Burnt Chapati may approve the introduction after review without creating active membership.
Review decision - 03
Active
A separate administrative decision is required after approval. No particular benefit is promised on this page.
Separate activation - 04
Rejected
An application may instead close without membership or a project relationship.
Review closed
Data boundaries
Share the context we need—not everything you have.
Your profile contains a display name, roles, skills and optional introduction and portfolio link. Your sign-in email remains private. Song reviews show your display name when approved; private recordings and messages are limited to the project’s creator, assigned collaborators and BCMC staff.
Do not include government identifiers, passwords, banking information, medical information, confidential third-party material or files you are not authorised to share. Use a controlled link only when its access settings match your intention.
Read the Privacy page for the current handling statement. Saving a profile does not create project terms or grant access to another creator’s workspace.
- Keep personal data proportionate
- Control access at the linked source
- Arrange a suitable channel before sharing sensitive material
Questions
Your profile, projects and membership.
01Can I choose more than one role?
Yes. Select each role that reflects a contribution you genuinely expect to make.
02Does choosing a musician role give me access to projects?
No. BCMC must assign you to a project before you can access its recordings and conversations. A creator account does not grant legacy membership privileges.
03Does approval activate membership?
No. Approval and activation are separate decisions, and the page promises no active-member benefit.
04Does membership give me ownership or a project role?
No. Any role, credit, fee or fractional ownership must be separately agreed for a defined project.
05Should I send confidential material?
No. Start with proportionate context and arrange an appropriate channel before any sensitive exchange.

Contact
Burnt Chapati puts creators first and builds the network around the project. Tell us what exists, who is involved and what contribution or decision you need next.
One address
The subject changes. The principle does not: make the work legible.
Burnt Chapati currently routes public enquiries through hello@burntchapati.com. A specific subject line helps the label understand which project network, developing programme or operating question the message concerns.
- Work
- The song, production, live context, research question, capability or project you want considered.
- People
- The creators, contributors, knowledge holders and decision-makers already connected to it.
- Ask
- The contribution, resource, introduction or decision you want Burnt Chapati to consider next.
- Constraint
- Timing, location, access, language, rights, budget or production information that materially shapes the request.
Use a routed email below for general enquiries. For a song, start on Create; your profile and private workspace live on You.
Creative
Let the song arrive before the pitch machinery.
Use this route when original music, repertoire or an artist-led premise is the reason for the conversation.
Tell us what the work is, what stage it has reached, who already contributes and which part of the project remains unresolved. One relevant listening or reference link is more useful than a large unsolicited package.
Burnt Chapati is an alternative to legacy thresholds, not an escape from clarity. Name whether the material is an idea, demo, production or release-ready work, and say what you want the right network to make possible.
An introduction begins review. It does not transfer ownership, establish confidentiality or commit Burnt Chapati to production or release.
- Name the creator and present contributors
- State the current stage honestly
- Ask for one intelligible next step
Route: mailto:hello@burntchapati.com?subject=Creative%20proposal
Production
Say whether you need a capability or bring one.
The same craft can enter the network from opposite directions. A precise first line prevents that distinction from disappearing.
Create
Develop or record original music
Share the source material, creative premise, current people, location, stage and production decisions still open.
↗ProduceOffer production practice
Describe the work you carry, the project situations you suit, relevant evidence and any location or timing constraint.
↗EngineerOffer recording or post-production
Name the service, technical scope, delivery approach, location and work you are authorised to show.
↗OperateOffer production coordination
Explain the project interfaces, decisions and deliverables you are prepared to make legible.
↗Live
Attention-led Show or performance-led Concert?
Both begin with music, but the audience relationship and production brief are different.
Authored listening contexts
For sessions, listening rooms, demonstrations or other formats in development around a deliberate way of hearing.
Public performance contexts
For an artist, ensemble, festival or constructed bill with a credible presenter and production frame.
Confirmed public information
For checking dates after the format, people, place and announcement details have been verified.
Live enquiry
Describe the room before asking us to hold the date.
Include the presenter, programme purpose, city and venue, proposed date window, intended audience, requested format, production position, indicative budget and real decision deadline.
R&D
Traditional knowledge enters through relationships, not extraction.
The Centre for Advanced Research and Development of Traditional Music and Arts is in development and open to grounded proposals.
Describe the practice, archive, field context or research question; the practitioners and institutions already involved; the proposed method; and the output or access condition you imagine.
Name known questions around consent, attribution, language, cultural sensitivity, collection access and rights. An unresolved permission is useful information when it is stated honestly.
A proposal starts review. It does not announce a residency, archive, commission, facility or funded programme.
- Question and method
- Practitioners and decision-makers
- Consent, attribution and intended access
Route: mailto:hello@burntchapati.com?subject=R%26D%20proposal
Institutions
Institutions should bring accountable context.
Name the accountable programme owner and distinguish confirmed resources from the ones still being explored.
Research
Archive or inquiry
Propose access, fieldwork, documentation, publication or a connected public programme with clear relationships.
↗ResidencyTime, place and exchange
Describe the setting, proposed participants, support, access conditions and intended public or private result.
↗CommissionA defined new work
State the purpose, creator context, deliverables, budget range, rights expectations and decision process.
↗ProgrammeAudience-facing work
Explain the audience, place, format, access needs, production responsibilities and requested documentation.
↗CollectionMaterial with context
Describe the collection, catalogue state, access rules, rights context and the use being considered.
↗IntroductionA pathway still being formed
Name the organisation, responsible team, available context and the question you want to define together.
↗Partnership + support
Start with the project purpose—not a generic transaction.
A support conversation becomes useful when its creative object, responsible people and intended use are visible.
Name the work
Identify the project, creator-first premise, current team and evidence that already exists.
Name the resource
Describe the capability, amount or access being considered and the intended project use.
Name the dependencies
Surface permissions, people, timing, budget and third-party decisions that affect feasibility.
Keep the first exchange proportionate
Leave banking details, identity documents and other highly sensitive records outside an initial email.
Use hello@burntchapati.com with the subject "Partner proposal". The email is an exploratory route, not an investment offer or promise of return.
Careers + press
Different enquiries need different evidence.
Both should be concise, authorised and connected to a real purpose.
Careers
Professional introduction
No role is currently listed. Name your discipline, strongest relevant evidence and the responsibility you are ready to carry.
↗OpeningFuture published role
If a role is later published, follow that role's stated scope and application instructions rather than this general route.
↗PressInterview or information request
Include the publication, topic, intended use, deadline, requested participant and recording status.
↗EditorialCatalogue or credit correction
Name the song or page, the information in question and the evidence that supports the correction.
↗Submission hygiene
Send the minimum material that makes the next decision possible.
An initial email is a routing tool, not a secure project repository or signed confidentiality arrangement.
| Information | Useful first contact | Keep out |
|---|---|---|
| Identity | Name, role, organisation when relevant and reply address | Government IDs and credentials |
| Creative work | One controlled link with the stage identified | Irreplaceable source files and large attachments |
| Project context | Premise, people, present stage, request and constraints | Unnecessary private information about others |
| Budget or support | Indicative range and intended use when relevant | Banking and payment-card records |
| Confidentiality | Raise the handling need before disclosure | Assuming an unsolicited email creates an obligation |
Use You for your profile and private workspace, and read Privacy before submitting personal information.
Review expectations
A clear signal earns a clearer review—not an automatic outcome.
Burnt Chapati publishes no fixed response time, meeting promise or project commitment for public email.
Keep your own record and use a proportionate follow-up when a genuine deadline requires it.
CurrentThe message may need to move to the relevant creative, live, research or partnership conversation.
CurrentState a real decision deadline; silence is not approval, availability or a held date.
CurrentA reply may ask a question, continue review or close the conversation without creating project terms.
CurrentGeneral contact
Start with the work.
Use a descriptive subject, identify the creator or responsible person, and give Burnt Chapati enough context to decide where the conversation belongs.
