    As a not-for-profit digital record label, The Church of Sound is dedicated to providing free distribution for original artists regardless of the production quality of their recordings.

The result is an authentic, genre-spanning display of creativity, including both seasoned performers and emerging voices.<\/p>\n

    A key driver behind the album is the support of creative music programming at the Colonial Arts Center (CAC) in Buckhannon. Artists on the compilation are connected to the project through CAC programs \u2014 either by performing at Local Music Night or by being members of Buckhannon Songwriters.<\/p>\n

    Local Music Night<\/a> is a CAC-sponsored concert series that provides a free, all-ages concert experience for the community and fair pay for original local acts. The series creates professional performance opportunities for area musicians and ensures that live, original music remains accessible to audiences of all ages.<\/p>\n

    Buckhannon Songwriters<\/a>, another CAC initiative, is a free monthly songwriting workshop open to people of all ages and experience levels. The program offers a supportive space for developing original material, sharing works in progress and helping newcomers get started.<\/p>\n

    Studio 4<\/a>, the newest CAC program, also contributed to the compilation. Though established near the end of the album\u2019s production cycle, Studio 4 was used for portions of recording on Quantum Hollers<\/em> and provided training for one artist who mixed their own track. Studio 4\u2019s purpose is to provide free music recording and production skills training to Buckhannon musicians, removing barriers for artists who may not otherwise have access to professional tools and instruction.<\/p>\n

    \u201cIt\u2019s been a long year of networking, recording, mixing and mastering to create this album,\u201d says Bryce O\u2019Loughlin, netlabel founder and creator of CAC\u2019s music programs. \u201cThe release of Quantum Hollers<\/em> shows how music programming that is specifically geared toward creativity will produce results.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Local Music Night\u2019s first show of the 2026 season is March 14 at the Colonial Arts Center. The event is free and open to all ages. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., with music from 7 to 9 p.m. The lineup includes Acid Mind Drainage, Waking Under Water and Wish Awake.<\/p>\n

    The March 14 show is sponsored by The GreenEggs Foundation, whose mission is \u201cto inspire creativity and ignite a lifelong love for the arts in school-age children. We aim to nurture imagination, self-expression and confidence \u2014 empowering the next generation of artists, thinkers and dreamers.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Local Music Night is only possible through community sponsorships. CAC is currently seeking additional local business partners to support the 2026 season, with the goal of adding one or two shows to this year\u2019s lineup. Sponsorship directly funds artist pay, production costs and free community access.<\/p>\n
