Collaborations

Flexibility

Do you like just one of these lyrics and want to use it as a filler song for your next album? We're thrilled to work with you! Is there an entire album concept that stirs your emotions? We're excited to join you in that exploration! Do you want to create a modern musical based on the entire saga? We dream of that regularly!

A Cohesive Artistic Vision

The 40 songs in the Hidden Haley project are structured into one single: The Key and four distinct albums: Soulful Shell, Unraveled Veils, Limbic Pulse, and Flight of Hearts EP. This structure creates a powerful narrative arc, a journey through the human experience, from introspection and loss to raw emotion and joyful release. It offers a rich, thematic foundation for a musical project, and who knows an entire musical? There is more than enough here to fill an evening. While each song stands on its own, they combine to tell a larger story with central themes of personal growth and human connection.

We have already developed specific style suggestions for each track—ranging from trip-hop and new wave to art rock and experimental pop—providing a clear yet flexible blueprint for collaboration. We have also created demo versions of the songs using generative AI tools, which you can hear on this site (soon, stay tuned), if you want to. We believe the right partnership can transform these 100% human-written words into unforgettable songs. If our vision and lyrics speak to you, we would be honored to explore a creative journey together.

Who We're Looking For

We are looking to partner with passionate and talented artists who can hear the music between the lines, and want to work on a single track, or a whole album or even the whole project. We invite you view the AI-generated demos merely as a creative springboard, a possible starting point. We are looking for human artists to bring their unique soul and expertise to this foundation.

Music Producers

A visionary producer who can build a sonic world around our lyrical core. We are particularly interested in producers who excel in genres like downtempo trip-hop, 90s-era electronica, new wave, and experimental sound design. Listen to our demos, or don't, but imagine how your signature sound could elevate them from a concept into a fully realized, professional production.

Composers

A creative composer who excels at weaving melodies and harmonies that capture the essence of a story, with filmic qualities, curiosity, and depth. The lyrics range from delicate and fragile to angry and powerful. The demos merely offer a first interpretation of melody and structure; we are excited to hear how your melodic and harmonic sensibilities might reinterpret or refine these musical ideas. We are not forcing anyone to even glimpse at the demo's, maybe the brightest gems come from the meeting of pristine and independent spirits.

Music Bands

An established band with a distinct voice and a desire for authentic, original material. The lyrical content is diverse enough to fit a range of styles, from art rock to punk-infused energy. Listen to the demos, or don't, but consider how your band could take these songs, infuse them with your unique chemistry, and make them your own.

Forms of Collaboration

We are flexible and believe in finding a model that works for everyone, whether you're interested in a single song, a full album, or the entire project. The terms of freedom and exclusivity are adapted to the scope of our work together. Our two primary models are:

Work for Hire

This is a straightforward, professional arrangement where we engage your services for a clear, pre-agreed fee. This model is best suited for single-track collaborations, offering you total musical freedom to interpret the song. These arrangements are typically non-exclusive, allowing the lyrics to be reinterpreted by other artists in the future. It is an ideal path for producers or musicians who prefer a project-based role with guaranteed compensation.

True Partnership

For those who wish to be more deeply invested, we offer a true partnership. This model is highly flexible and can apply to anything from a single track to the entire 38-song journey. For a full project partnership, this is the exclusive model we offer. In this scenario, the overall musical style becomes a shared, collaborative decision. While we would commit to not seeking another wholesale project partner, we would retain the right for the project to breathe by allowing future collaborations on individual songs. This path is for creators who want to merge their artistic identity with ours and grow with the project for the long term.

Our Vision for Release

A core principle of the Hidden Haley project is maintaining artistic integrity from start to finish. For this reason, we have a strong preference for the songs to be self-released, either by Hidden Haley or by the collaborating band. This approach ensures the final music stays true to the original vision and allows for maximum creative freedom, unencumbered by traditional industry pressures.

Contracts and Agreements

We believe that great collaborations are built on a foundation of trust and transparency. Every partnership, regardless of its form, will be underpinned by a solid and fair contract. Our commitment is to create agreements that are easy to understand and meticulously protect the rights, contributions, and interests of all parties involved. We want a respectful and professional relationship from the very first note.
