Instructional
There is an awesome power in the human voice, and when uncommon voices are blended for a shared goal (for example: children at play or marchers singing at demonstrations) we become a community of individuals absorbed in a shared communal experience. Technology is changing some fundamental aspects of how, when, where and why we communicate as humans beings, but our voices - blended in song - articulate shared goals, causes, ideologies passions, beliefs, faiths, work, rituals, and tell our collective stories. Our blended voices are the core of our humanity.
