My Musical Potrait

I came across this site yesterday where you “sit” for a musical portrait and end up with a 5 minute musical composition. The site is the Lifehouse Method and one of its creators is Pete Townsend of The Who.

The “sitting” is interesting. The process is as follows.

  1. Upload a picture that best describes you or your mood.
  2. Record a snippet of your voice.
  3. Record a sound, either upload a file, record from your microphone or use a sound on their site.
  4. Record a rhythm, either upload, record, or tap a rhythm out with your mouse.
  5. Wait for your composition. You can downloaded it and share it with others.

My composition feels very peaceful to me with an intermingling of energy and movement. It starts off quietly and then brings in an even keeled tempo. Yesterday when I listened to it I thought of it reflecting my down mood but today when I listen to it I feel a simple quality of contentment. I’ll let you listen for yourself.

Try it out for yourself at Lifehouse Method. What does your musical portrait express?
