Project #3: Voices for Change

 Our proposed project, which will be the third project of The Shonai Collective: “Voices for Change” is a collaboration between five musicians, two lyricists, and one visual artists, aimed at addressing pressing 21st-century issues through music. Amongst five musicians, one will be composing and producing six/seven original songs/pieces, incorporating experimental, minimalistic, modern classical and jazz styles to convey the complexity of contemporary challenges. Four vocalists, forming a choir quartet, will lend their voices to these compositions, infusing them with depth and emotion. Each tune delves deep into themes such as environmental sustainability, social justice, and human connection, offering thought-provoking insights and sparking meaningful conversations.

As the lyrics shape into songs, visual artists will employ modern tools like AI and cartoon drawing to craft visual content, aligning with contemporary themes. This innovative approach highlights the potential of modern technologies in addressing current issues, reshaping perceptions of problem-solving tools. The recording engineer plays a pivotal role in capturing the essence of the composer's message. From selecting the ideal recording space to meticulously capturing, mixing, and mastering the audio, every step is taken to ensure the final product faithfully reflects the intended narrative. This comprehensive process, from inception to completion, underscores our commitment to delivering a cohesive and impactful artistic expression.

The outcome of this attempt will be tackleing relevant societal issues, from environmental concerns to social justice, fostering dialogue and reflection. The recordings will serve as a powerful medium to spread awareness and inspire action within our community.

The entire production will be completed within a 12-month timeframe.

To amplify our impact, the choir quartet and composer will perform live at various venues, engaging audiences and promoting our message. Through concerts, workshops, social media promotion, and outreach events, we aim to ignite conversations and catalyze positive change.

By combining artistry with advocacy, our project seeks to create a lasting impact on society. We believe that music has the power to transcend boundaries and spark meaningful dialogue, and we are committed to harnessing this potential for the greater good.

Join us on this journey as we use our voices to inspire change and shape a better world for future generations.
