A "Music Episode" is like a television episode. It's also not like a television episode. With TV, the story is told to you, shown to you, with added laughter, oohs, and ahhhs to make sure that you know what emotion you should be feeling. A "Music Episode" is different. There is a story, but you get to create it.
A "Music Episode" comes with a creation space notebook where you can write, draw, doodle, paint, collage, or read while you listen to the music. The notebook is not a distraction, but actually a way to focus on the music in a deeper way. A "Music Episode" is meant to be experienced many times. Unlike a TV episode that has one story-line with one ending, a "Music Episode" can tell a different story each time you listen to it. Or perhaps, the story grows and becomes more vibrantly colorful each time hear it. That is why there are so many blank pages in the notebook.
Just like you don't take down a painting in your house after one night because you've already seen it, a "Music Episode" should be enjoyed over and over again to hear things you didn't notice the first time, and to see how your experience of the music changes as you become more acquainted with it.
You might say, "Who has time to engage in and actually create art? I'm too busy." A "Music Episode" is only 23 minutes long. That's about how long a "half-hour" TV program lasts when you take away the commercials. Instead of watching one more TV show, I encourage you to interact with a "Music Episode" instead. It will work whether you are alone or with others. It might actually lead to conversation that lasts beyond the half-hour mark. You might even forget about watching TV for the rest of the night. Don't worry, you can probably still catch that show online later.
Music is art, and art exists to shake you awake to make sure you are fully living your life. That is where the idea of "Music Episodes" came from. Get ready to engage with music in a new way. Get ready to deeply experience art on what would normally be just a regular day.
The first music episode, "The Pilot Episode", is currently being created. A limited edition run of 50 will be available exclusively to CSArt Colorado shareholders. To find out about the CSArt program or to become a shareholder visit CSArtcolorado.org .
"Episode One" will follow and will be available to all. Check back here often for updates, sound samples, visuals, and more.
Thanks For Listening,
