About Surya Sound Temple

Surya Sound Temple is a private music sanctuary in Bushwick, Brooklyn, dedicated to instrumentalists, producers, and artists exploring sound through creativity, craftsmanship, and cultural traditions.

Our studio is home to a growing ecosystem of original projects, including:

• Electrobones – handcrafted wooden MIDI percussion instruments and acoustic pickups
• Khartal – modern ergonomic hand percussion inspired by traditional Indian instruments
• Art of Tabla – percussion education rooted in the tabla tradition
• Speedbag Drummer – rhythm-based coordination and movement training
• Flakeb00k – original visual art and creative storytelling

In addition to our educational programs, we design and manufacture products, produce creative media, and offer recording and content production services.

About the Internship

This internship is designed for individuals who want real-world experience inside an independent creative studio.

Rather than making coffee or filing paperwork, you’ll contribute to active projects while learning how a multidisciplinary music studio operates.

This position is experience-based and is ideal for students, recent graduates, creatives, and musicians looking to build their portfolio, receive mentorship, or earn a professional reference.

Responsibilities

Depending on your interests and strengths, you may assist with:

• Studio operations and organization
• Videography and photography
• Video editing and social media content
• Music production and recording sessions
• Instrument setup and tuning
• Product development and creative research
• Marketing and community outreach
• Administrative and project support
• Event preparation and documentation

Every internship is slightly different based on current studio projects and your individual skills.

We value curiosity, initiative, and a genuine passion for music.

Ideal candidates are:

• Musicians or artists
• Interested in recording, media, design, or creative technology

Bonus skills include:

• Pro Tools
• Adobe Creative Suite
• Photography or videography
• Graphic design
• Woodworking or instrument repair
• Social media content creation

Selection Process

We receive a large number of internship applications throughout the year and accept only a small group of interns.

We’re not looking for perfect résumés—we’re looking for people who have taken the time to understand our work and can explain why they want to be part of it.

Before applying, we encourage you to explore our projects and learn about what we create.
