Trigger collective was founded in 2018 within the Synth Library as an open collective of women and trans* people in music. It manifests in the form of different projects by women and trans* people in music for not only for women and trans*. The collective evolves around the topics of re/search, un/learning, respect, equality and studying various systems of control not only in the field of music technology.

Synth Library Prague is a space for sharing, creating, discussing and experimenting with sound and electronic music supporting constant learning, respect and deep listening. It was found in May 2018 by musicians and educators Alissa DeRubeis and Marie Čtveráčková as the first sister library of the S1 Synth Library in Portland, Oregon.
