Fugue Lab

08/14/2026

Your music is gorgeous. That is not the problem.

The problem is that your website, your applications, your email list and your donor list live in four different places, and none of them knows that the person who applied in January is the same person who gave in November. So you do the joining yourself, every season, by hand. At best that is hours you did not plan for. At worst something falls through and nobody notices until next year.

Fugue Lab remembers, because it is one system instead of four.

A festival I work with runs applications, the website and the mailing list against one record. An applicant who becomes an attendee does not become a second person in a second system.

I built Fugue Lab for musicians because I am one. I run a music program of my own, so I am not guessing at what yours needs.

If you're an organist in LA, you probably know Thompson Howell... I had the privilege of getting to know him better on my blog, Classically Minded!

As a fellow multidisciplinarian, I was intrigued by his work in the voice acting space AND the organ scene in Los Angeles.

He is in high demand as a freelance organist and was recently recognized with a Voice Arts Award for his voice-over of ESPN's mini-documentary of Tom Brady before an NFL game in 2023.

That being said, I don't think Thompson is in it for the recognition. He has a genuine and authentic passion for all his creative pursuits.

You can hear from Thompson himself and listen to his award-winning voice-over by clicking this link: https://classicallyminded.org/blog/thompson-howell-award-winning-voice-actor-and-freelance-organist
