The project has its source in observation that a group of adults in the 25-45 age range – despite interest in music – is not actively engaged in creating it. That is the effect of stereotypes, blockages, traumas, the time-consuming, expensive process of learning how to play on professional instruments.
It’s purpose is elicitation of adults through the set of musical objects, which in an approachable way allows for group and individual musical activity. The set was designed with different materials for sound experimentation and enhancing creativity, relaxation, entertainment and therapeutic purposes. It encourages co-creating, sharing activity and emotions, deepening relationships in the group. It is a tool that bonds different people during spontaneous, unique music experiences.
