Heart in the Dark
A Gift to an Artist
.
.
For nearly 30 years our family-run business, Bakehouse Studios in Richmond, has provided a home, a place and a voice for our beloved music community. Like many venues and businesses at this difficult time, we have had to close our doors for the good of the public health. We’re determined to continue what we do best and create hope in a future for our precious extended musical family.
Heart In The Dark is a different kind of fundraiser. It’s centred around hope and a confidence that we will return and returning with us will be everyone that makes Bakehouse Studios the music community hub it is: the bands, artists in residence, the Fellowships, the public art project, the school holiday programs, the music teachers, the freelance producers and engineers, the filmmakers, the showcases, our cherished staff and our community advocacy.
Heart In The Dark is a way of supporting Bakehouse Studios and all our extended music family through these uncertain times.

About Bakehouse Studios:
Around 400 local and international musicians pass through Bakehouse Studios in Richmond every week. For almost 30 years it has been an important piece in Melbourne’s music history; and a secluded haven for musicians. Bakehouse is a place to create. It’s a place for writing music, rehearsing, pre-production for live shows and tours, shooting film clips, taking band photos, making documentaries, recording albums and meeting like-minded people. Bakehouse is a hive of musical activity.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
