$19 / MONTHFIRST 3 MONTHS FREE
Ten artists.
Ten worlds.
Nothing generic.
Alive is your digital artist studio: a bespoke public website, a private working space and the tools to keep your brand, career and business visible, organised and moving.
THE AMBITION / 01–10
10 shockingly beautiful artist worlds—each strong enough to sell Alive by being itself.
APHID COUNTS AS № 0101 / THE PLATFORMNot a website subscription.
Not a website subscription.

Work, releases & recognition

ALIVE VAULT
YOUR CREATIVE MEMORYThe work should accumulate.
The work should accumulate.
Not disappear into folders.
Alive Vault is designed to become the organised, economic history of an artist’s career: originals, releases, performances, press, assets and approved materials—private by default, available when the next opportunity arrives.
- Tenant-private storage and access
- Revocable contributor upload links
- Original-file downloads for authorised artist administrators
02 / HOW THE FIRST TEN WORKClose collaboration.
Close collaboration.
Then real independence.
We help the founding artists launch beautifully and learn what makes the platform genuinely usable before the experience becomes more autonomous.
- 01Apply
Share your work, ambition and the feeling you want people to leave with. There is no payment at this stage.
- 02Find the direction
We work through references, dislikes, audience and practical needs to establish an unmistakable creative language.
- 03Build the world
We organise approved assets in Alive Vault, assemble the relevant platform features and shape the public experience.
- 04Review and launch
You approve the content and direction before launch. We connect the domain and help you learn the workspace.
- 05Keep it alive
Publish new work, dates, campaigns, products and press without rebuilding the site every time something changes.

04 / FOUNDER 01Aphid is
Aphid is
already alive.
The first world is live: a deliberately monochrome, film-led home for an alternative band from Carlisle. It proves the platform can carry a strong artistic identity without looking like a platform template.

Your work stays yours.
If you leave, you can download your data and original files. The public site is then shut down.
No automatic commitment.
An application is a conversation, not a subscription. Scope and payment are confirmed before activation.
Built for creative range.
Musicians, DJs, comedians, actors, media personalities, radio hosts, television presenters, filmmakers, photographers, dancers, visual artists, writers and podcasters are all welcome.
