CREATIVE MUSICAL ART FOR WHITE SOCIETY

Abstract

       The “Creative Musical Art for White Society” project which comprises 5 projects namely “Music and Meditation,” “Music and Love,” “Music and Harmony,” “Music and Encouragement,” and “Music and Technology," has produced 50 musical compositions in various styles including instrumental music, vocal music and computerized music. The purpose of the project is to utilize music as a tool to create an awareness on and help prevent violence in the family and in society. The compositions are accessible and soothing to the ear in order to promote mental well-being of families to create a strong sustainable impact for a better society amidst globalization. The target audiences are children and their parents or guardians, all of whom play a significant role in laying the foundation for long-lasting national development.

The research finds that the musical compositions of the project are appropriate. The combination of the lyrics, musical elements and contemporary technology can effectively soothe, de-stress, boost morale and build solidarity. Results of the “Creative Musical Art for White Society” project will be publicly available in Thailand and the target audiences are youth and their families. It is hoped that the study creates positive impact on communities and society, reflects Thailand’s contemporary issues, which are rooted in domestic violence, develops social responsibility, creates solidarity, and build morale for a strong society. The research team hopes that the research program can be further developed to create music appropriate for today’s society and held as an example by future musicians and music producers in creating socially conscious music which promotes philanthropy and contributes to greater dynamism in society.
