A vulnerable, thoughtful Musical Memoir to see yourself & own your story
The forever concept is innately deep within our human psyche. Considering it leads to personal beliefs, philosophy or spiritual awareness. It goes from a concept to a kernel, as one’s disposition towards forever is lived out. Real life encounters are portrayed in the musical’s narrative of the varied life stages discovering meaning.
The listener of the “As I Recall F( )REVER” journey can’t help but imagine how the songs and story relate to the direction of their life and underlying desire for growth.
There are real-life scenes overcoming obstacles, recovering from losses and forming a resilient and caring character.
Perhaps the magnetic pull of the story arc is how one measures their life.
NATURE OF THE MUSIC
What happened to feet-up, eyes closed listening?
Being absorbed in music never went away for some and for others it’s back and it’s bite-sized. While we live in a world that’s been called “short attention span theatre”, programmatic listening, like a musical, is rare but now fixating and fascinating.
Bill Mullin, the creator/producer said, “Once the songs materialized with collaborating artists, the project took on a life of its own. The songs kept coming, growing to 25 over three years, forming an overall dramatic arc with spoken word narratives of the stories within the songs. Now, that is long-form.”
The producer’s dilemma was how to deliver this long-form? What to do? The answer? Bring the program into digital lifestyles of today!. The musical fits a streaming series format like videos on Netflix or other streaming channels. If you liked concept albums that have disappeared, you’ll like As I Recall F( )REVER . Each episode delivers a couple song scenes.
