Workshop: Storytelling w/ Adria
Join us This Friday
"Vision in Sound" is an immersive workshop designed to break down the synergy between storytelling and songwriting, through the exploration of connecting vivid imagery to our inner emotions.
Participants will be guided through the process of creating a song that conveys a powerful narrative that either comes from or goes towards an imagined visual component.
This workshop aims to inspire and equip participants with the tools to create meaningful and memorable songs that tell impactful stories.
Through these guided exercises, participants will leave with a deeper understanding of how to combine their musical and narrative talents.
