LIYLR= Intimate and personal musical performances in a private person´s living-room Emma Mastad : Ursel Biester “ Don´t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and then go and do that, because what this world needs is people who have come alive.”

2. “ I experienced the same thing in Sweden. The artists had to apply to play there! Would be cool to see it in other parts of the world too.” Emmi Uutela, FIN, student @ Team academy “ This is bringing music back to how it´s supposed to be, the artists using their love for playing to raise the spirits of people in their community” Bjarke Østergaard, DK, Vestas Århus “ Having a stage so close to the audience and with no microphones or sound system makes the experience so much more intimate.” Hanna von Bergen, NO, performer at LIYLR # 1 in Århus “ It gives me the chills. It challenges the performer to communicate to the audience in a totally different way.” Karen Troldborg, DK, performer at LIYLR # 1 in Århus “ I could not see how a concert would work in such a small space at first with a full band and all the gear. But I would love to try it out! ” Søren Lundbye-Christensen, DK, professional musician What makes Life in your living-room meaningful to you?

4. your home We did the first one in our friends living-room with local musicians we know and people we like! We harvested what we learnt and asked people for more ideas and future hosts. This we put together into a LIYLR recipe working in Århus, DK! Next up is the world wide LIYLR relay-race, maybe in YOUR living-room??? How to spread the good vibes of the LIYLR initiatives? your region your country our world! The world wide LIYLR relay race sparking initiatives in living-rooms around the globe! Idea: the LIYLR team sets out on a journey around the world using our existing network and social media to connect to likeminded brothers and sisters who wants to have a LIYLR in their city. And then we DO IT! The LIYLR ning.com will be the perfect platform for a global community of locally initiated LIYLRs where hosts, audience and performers can connect, be inspired and maybe even spark new initiatives for a more fun, loving and creative every day life! Word of mouth travels far! So does facebook:) Create your own local & online LIYLR network! Easy! Get connected with other passionate and interested people in order to naturally create and grow a local LIYLR movement. Be the leader of a national movement of fun, music and community! Use existing social networks, f.ex. Couch Surfing and facebook, to reach out to likeminded. The creation of the LIYLR ning.com would be a cool spot to see where other LIYLRs are initiated. You could join the fun or get inspiration for your own!
