Music on the Move Savannah Fortis

If you show up in a completely new place and don’t speak the language, aren’t familiar with the culture or customs, or know even a single person - can music be your gateway to an entirely different world? 

From our experience and that of many others the answer is yes. And today we’re bringing you a story of exactly that. 

Join us on this episode of Music on the Move as we travel using sound and music back in time to when the idea for Music on the Move first came to fruition and was tested out in the Kurdistan region of northern Iraq. Are you coming with us?

"How does all the music in the world fit onto one CD?"

That was my question as a four-year-old looking down at the holographic CD-ROM of Microsoft’s Encarta Encyclopedia 99’ I held in my hands.

Join us as we travel using sound the way host Savannah Fortis first learned how. It’s the inaugural episode that marks our journey as a project and Savannah's own, exploring the transportive powers of sound and music in the early days of the internet and CD-ROMs. Are you coming with us?
