So, we gracefully ask that your submissions fall into these broad categories so that we can build a continuous musical theme.
Hopefully you feel prompted? Without feeling prescribed? We want you to create and contribute. And we want to build this into a complete project so a roadmap seemed required. We are in the midst of conjuring up specific scenes with the thinking that such a prompt might also be helpful.
We welcome feedback, questions.
