For Chords and Conversation #12 (Scary edition)
What you need to know
What to expect?
An evening dedicated to attention, connection and great music.
At each event, we begin by removing distractions and putting our phones away. After a few minutes of mingling, we gather around the record player to listen to an album in its entirety. For about an hour we listen in silence, no phones, no talking, just the music.
Once the album ends, we indulge in discussions about the music, snacks, and good conversation. We begin with a short facilitated discussion about the music, and move to free form after that.
This is designed by a music amateur, all you need is an interest in music, and your open heart. No music expertise required.
The Music
What kind of albums? Usually, a classic album. This time we will listen to scary music inspired by H.P. Lovecraft.
(This is our Halloween edition, I know I know a little too late. Due to personal circumstances I had to postpone this event)
Come listen to good music. Make a new friend, or bring a connection along to get to know them better. If you’re bringing someone, please ensure they register individually.
My Story
Hi, This is Aaron. I moved to Toronto during COVID. You bet, building a community was difficult. Today, I love Toronto more than ever, and call it home.
With "For Walkers and The Belt", my goal is to create spaces that facilitate making new connections, and building communities, as well as expanding my own community. I hope to do this by hosting the kind of medium-sized, slow-paced gatherings that allow for better conversations and deeper connections.
FAQ
Should I bring snacks? You don’t have to, and there is no expectation. However, you are welcome to bring snacks to share with everyone.
What about drinks? Anything non-alcoholic is okay.
Can I know the album in advance? I like the album to stay a surprise. Try to enjoy the suspense.
