Words! Symbols!! Music!!!

Obsessive Classification Disorder

Join us to explore the power of symbols within communication, and collectively compose a musical score. Help guide a trio of musicians in a performance of a kind you have never heard before.

On Friday night we take your words, convert them into symbols, hand them to our musicians and make sweet music together.

On Saturday we take your words, convert them into symbols, hand them to The Librarian and make the books that will change how you interact with the world.

At close of business on Saturday, our Librarian will send several books out on a 13 week journey to help the world reconnect with the intuitive basis of language and interaction.
