Everyone - Gather in a circle. We will be creating a musical soundscape with no words allowed.
In no particular order the first player will start by making a sound, any sound they choose. It could be a vocal sound, a hand clap, or anything else that makes noise.
One at a time in no order, each person adds their own sound to the mix, building on the first sound. Imitate the first sound or create something new!
The next players continue to add their own sounds, each player building on the previous sounds to create a layered musical soundscape.
As the soundscape builds, players should work to make the sounds harmonize and blend together, creating a cohesive musical piece.
Once the soundscape has reached a crescendo, players can work together to bring it to a satisfying conclusion.
Ask the group for a place or event where many people might gather
Rounds:
For the second round, some players will be allowed to use words - organically.
Repeat the same process as before, with players building on each other’s sounds and incorporating words where appropriate.
Encourage players to listen to each other and work together to create a musical soundscape that is interesting and enjoyable to listen to.
