The Musical Universes of the 2015 Participants

We’ve just announced the 61 participants for the 2015 Red Bull Music Academy. Those who have applied know that our process is a rigorous one, with plenty of questions that plumb psychological depths. Among our favorite questions on the application is one where we ask musicians to draw where they sit in the musical universe. We thought we’d post some of the most fascinating examples from this year’s crop of participants. There are a lot of different approaches...

Some are in discovery mode...

Others take the idea of “universe” quite literally...

While others take a more abstract approach...

...and some just have one (worthy) goal in mind.
