Finding Music!

Creativity is…finding music wherever you are.

This week’s prompt is from 64 Million Artists newest team member, our Chief Operating Officer – Rathi Kumar!

Rathi has a passion for music and song…”I find that songs easily enter my head based on words or phrases spoken by people around me.  When thinking about a creative prompt, I decided to see what would happen if I tuned into the space around me without having anyone present.  What if I focused on sounds I could hear in my flat, as well as outside – to trigger a beat and a song?”

 

 

Do

Wherever you are, tune into the space around you.  

What sounds or vibrations can you hear or feel?

 

Maybe there is a clanking of cutlery, a hum of traffic, rain falling or birds singing.

Is there a rhythm? Is there repetition? A mixture of loud and quiet noises?

 

Using whatever materials you have around you, make a beat inspired by what you hear or feel. You could create a beat that would compliment the sounds, or try and recreate them.

 

Think

Does the beat you’ve created remind you of any songs you know?

Share

Share a recording of your beat and/or a link to the song it reminded you of, with someone you know. Invite them to give it a go and send a recording back to you.
