Play Music By Local Musicians, And Display Art By Local Artists
A Request for
Play music by local musicians, and display art by local artists
Limit your use of music and art that is commercialized, mass produced, or desensitizing, that is meant to manipulate the listener or viewer, or is distributed by national organizations.
Details
Take account of the impact of the music you play on your customers or visitors. Do not play music with lyrics (or other qualities) that appeal to the lowest motives or instincts. Do not play music at a level that makes it hard or impossible to think.
Commercial music is often used to manipulate the feelings and thoughts of customers. It stops conversation. It makes it hard to reflect. It stimulates the ego and the urge to buy.
We are not asking you to stop playing whatever you like. But we should bring at least a little humanity into everything we do. For every song that stimulates hedonism, that encourages self-satisfaction, play one that awakens sensitivity and awareness about our shared humanity.
Optionally, think about creating a music free space – a quiet area where those who wish can be free of the impact of hypnotic music.
