My direction for 'Say Something Political'

The following organisation 'Music For Relief' is:

"Artists, music industry professionals, and fans working together to create positive change. Our mission, is to support disaster relief and reduce global warming" (http://www.musicforrelief.org)

The following is taken from a UN meeting:

''MUSIC UNITES PEOPLE OF DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS, SECRETARY-GENERAL

SAYS IN REMARKS INTRODUCING ‘WHY MUSIC MATTERS’ LECTURE''

The following is the text of Secretary-General Kofi Annan’s introductory remarks at the lecture on “Why Music Matters” by Professor Leon Botstein in New York, today, 8 November:

"Dear colleagues and friends, I am delighted to welcome you to another lecture in this series.  Today, our subject is music."

“What’s that got to do with the UN?” you may be asking.  My answer is that music has to do with everything.

From the first lullaby sung to us as newborn babies, music provides the “soundtrack” of our lives.  So much so that I think many of us take it for granted -- just as we do the soundtrack of a film, which we often hear without listening to it.  That is, we enjoy the film without realizing how much the music conditions our reaction.

"Music penetrates almost every part of our lives:  our rest, our entertainment, our education, and our worship."

I love everything about these concepts and feel strongly about the messages behind them.

This is going to be the direction of my 'Say Something Political' Design Practice 3 brief.
