Theme: Disconnected in a Connected World

We live in a world that seems more connected than ever, through phones, social media, and technology. Yet, many people feel more alone, unheard, or unseen.

This theme invites you to explore this contrast.

Think about what it means to be connected, yet feel disconnected. Is it about people ignoring each other in real life? Is it about being lost in screens? Or is it about finding new ways to truly connect?

Create a song or musical piece that shows this feeling of disconnection or the search for true connection in today’s connected world.
