How it Works

This is another structured long form. Get a topic, line up the players, and start improvising a song around the theme, usually without using a piano player (it would get too structured and cluttered if you so). Use the suggestion to improvise instruments (or their sound) with. Players can offer bits of Narrative by singing over the 'music'. Once the narrative patterns are clean, any player can step out of the song and start a scene based on what was established.

When the scene is done the 'music' resumes till someone else starts a scene. Nice if the scenes start to connect, or if characters from different scenes meet and interact.

Notes

This is a bit like a Harold but without the games. Or like a French Braid where the glue between the scenes is the song.
