01 / REMEMBER
Tell your story
Begin anywhere: a song that holds someone you loved, an artist who helped define you, an album that marked a turning point. There is no required number, no right order, and no need to choose just one.
The music that made us
Can you hear
who you are?
The music you love is the autobiography you didn't know you were writing.
A song can hold a moment. An artist can accompany a lifetime. Albums, voices, concerts, and melodies become inseparable from the people we've loved, the places we've been, and the people we've become. What does your music know about you?

The idea
More than a playlist.
Some songs take us back. Some artists stay with us.
There are songs that return us to a single afternoon, and artists whose music has traveled with us for decades. Sometimes it's an album, a concert, or a voice we can't imagine our lives without.
Striking Accord explores how music shapes identity, preserves memory, and helps us recognize something of ourselves in one another. Not simply what we listen to, but why it matters—and what it reveals about who we are.
Because the music that tells your story isn't necessarily the music you play most often. It's the music you carry.
The experience
Your life, heard differently.
We're creating an interactive experience that invites you to explore the songs, artists, albums, and musical experiences that have shaped your life. Through thoughtful questions, your stories become an evolving musical portrait—something to revisit, share, and keep.
02 / DISCOVER
See your musical identity
Watch your music and memories take shape as a personal visual portrait. Discover the connections among artists, songs, people, places, and different chapters of your life.
03 / CONNECT
Find your accord
Bring two portraits together—or a family's, or a group of friends'. See where musical lives overlap, where they differ, and where different music expresses a shared human experience.
The accord view
Where musical lives meet.
Two people may love the same artist for entirely different reasons. Or they may have no songs in common, yet recognize the same feelings in each other's stories.
Imagine a shared portrait that reveals more than matching favorites: the memories, relationships, and meanings that music holds between us.

The book
Striking Accord
An Anthology of Music, Identity, and Connection
Part memoir, part exploration of music and memory, the forthcoming book asks how the music we love becomes part of who we are—and how sharing those musical stories can bring us closer to one another.
From a song that preserves a fleeting moment to an artist whose work accompanies a lifetime, it traces the surprising ways music becomes autobiography.

What music has become part of who you are?
Maybe it's one song. Maybe it's an artist you've loved for half your life. We're building a place for those stories—and for discovering what happens when we share them.
