How It Works

1. Setting the Scene: We meet with your group and explain the goal of our activity: to explore how music intertwines with our lives and to create a unique piece of art from our conversation. This activity not only celebrates our shared love of music but also aims to enhance positive feelings and foster a sense of community.

2. Guided Conversations: We kickstart the discussion with a series of questions designed to trigger musical memories and emotions. Participants might reminisce about the first song they fell in love with, tunes that never fail to make them happy, or the music that lifts them during tough times. We talk about everything from favorite TV show themes to gaming soundtracks, uncovering how deeply music runs through the fabric of our lives.

3. Capturing the Moment: As the conversation flows, we record everything. This raw, unfiltered dialogue is rich with personal stories, laughter, and sometimes even tears. These recordings are the heart of our project, capturing the true essence of the group’s shared experiences.

4. The Musical Twist: At the end of the conversation, each participant writes down their favorite song, singer, or type of music. We randomly select one of these to guide the creation of our musical piece.

5. Creating the Art: We then create two versions of the final piece:

• Spoken Word Version: This version preserves the natural flow of the conversation, allowing the participants’ voices to tell their song.
• Musical Version: Inspired by the guiding song, we craft a new song that mirrors its tempo, rhythm, and mood. We draw lyrics directly from the conversation, ensuring the final piece is a true reflection of the group’s shared musical journey.
