How to use it

  1. Choose a track, sound, genre, or imagined playlist entry you feel comfortable exploring.
  2. Describe the theme in your own words without copying lyrics.
  3. Notice any memories, feelings, body responses, meanings, or associations you want to record.
  4. Choose a next track, silence, another activity, or a stop.

Reflection prompts

  • What did the music bring closer or move farther away?
  • Which associations feel private or okay to share?
  • What kind of sound or silence would fit next?

Facilitator guidance

Do not request or reproduce copyrighted lyrics. Confirm group privacy expectations while being clear about their limits, and allow headphones, silence, or a non-music alternative.

Adaptations & accessibility

  • Use instrumental music, environmental sound, or silence.
  • Draw color, shape, or movement instead of writing.
  • Discuss a fictional soundtrack rather than a personally meaningful track.
