The invitation

Waiting for the kettle, missing the bus, looking for a matching sock. One of those moments probably deserves its own theme tune. Make up a title and tell us what it sounds like.

First step

Choose an ordinary moment and invent the title of a song that would fit it.

1. Choose an ordinary moment and invent the title of a song that would fit it.
2. Decide what you'd hear: a slow bass line, rattly percussion, one piano note, or something stranger.
3. Write the title and a short description of the sound and the scene it belongs to.

'Before the Kettle Clicks'. One low piano note, then very soft little rattles, like the kitchen hasn't properly woken up yet. The click would be the ending, obviously.

Inspired by Sami Noor

'Tea With the Train in Ten Minutes'. Kept your warm piano sound but put hurried taps underneath it. Same kitchen, much less time to enjoy the tea.
