Where the same song gets rearranged again and again...and again

At base level, it is about the many ways we can rearrange music into different forms - twisting, pulling, adding and subtracting pieces and parts until you achieve a desired outcome.

When I originally conceived of the show, the goal ways to learn about music writing and arranging through osmosis; by hearing how others explain their process of re-arrangement, I hoped to gain the tools and confidence to approach new or existing music. My hope was that others would benefit from this journey as well.
