The Crayon Box station will be complete with two digital tablets where participants can make their own graphic musical score based on a color – violet, blue, green, red, yellow, orange, black or brown.
These digital scores will be displayed on a screen hung in front of the Dudley Café outdoor wall, and the scores will be animated with the assistance of a digital artist.
A trio directed by Amanda Eckery made up of voice, bass and saxophone will perform participants’ scores.
This project engages the community to be a part of the music making and allows for one-on-one interaction between performers and listeners.

Make Music Boston is part of an international effort in more than 750 cities in 120 countries.
Inspired by France’s Fête de la Musique, Make Music Day is a day for all musicians - young, old, professional, or amateur - and all audiences.
With support from The Cricket Foundation, Cambridge Arts Council, Boston Cultural Council, and private donors, MMB will fill the summer solstice with music.
Performers are matched with venues which include the Boston Center for the Arts Plaza, Magazine Beach, Downtown Crossing, the Esplanade, Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway, Boston Common, and Aeronaut Brewing Company.
Matchmaking takes place through an online profile service, which also posts a map of the day’s free performances at makemusicboston.org.
An interactive app will also be available in June to guide listeners to the projects and performances.
--------
