In order to create a compelling atmosphere to engage groups in conversation around a theme, the thought is to create a soundscape that places the conversation in context. Here we look at a few pragmatic ideas about how to make this possible:
# DJ sets and swaps
We can collect playlists of music that represent the culture and context of the place. A simple way to do this is to invite (curate) a local DJ to play a selection of tunes.
The question is then how to appropriately transition to a provocation and subsequent Panel Conversation.
One way to think of this is as an "advert". Instead of playing commercial advertisements we can insert a sound segment which is a Talk Section section. When the "talk section" is over and the DJ goes back to playing his set, an Interested Audience can get together and start a conversation around the topic raised.
