More Than Music

More Than Music is a project inspired by my experience as a violinist in an informal music group, where the process of rehearsals became a way of forming meaningful friendships. This project imagines a place where these experiences can be shared more widely.

The proposal explores how design can support connection, creativity, and collaboration through shared musical experiences. Rather than focusing solely on performance, the project celebrates experimentation, process and the social value of making music together. Designed as a safe, informal, and inclusive environment, it encourages musicians of different genres and skill levels to interact and creatively exchange ideas within a variety of acoustic spaces.

The Film

An introduction to the themes and motivations behind my design proposal. This film is a hybrid documentary film essay combining rehearsal footage, interviews with various music groups, and personal narration grounded in my experience playing in a band. Through reflections and questions, it invites viewers to consider what creates connection beyond the music itself.
