🕺 Three Immersive Experience Scenes

1. Underground Jazz Temple Tour

At Minton's Playhouse, which still retains its original appearance in 1948: → Touch the cigarette burns left by Thelonious Monk on the piano → Learn the secret technique of recording improvised melodies with cocktail napkins → Decipher the mathematical formula of the ceiling sound wave reflector

2. Street Sound Collection Action

Equipped with professional recording equipment: ✓ Capture the microtonal fluctuations of church gospel choruses ✓ Record the genetic comparison of basketball impact rhythms and funk drums ✓ Collect third-hand legends about Miles Davis in the barbershop

3. Music History in Recipes

In the kitchen of Sylvia's Restaurant: ☆ Analyze the relationship between the crispness of fried chicken batter and syncopated rhythm ☆ Deconstruct the taste transformation of the bitterness of kale and the sadness of blues ☆ Mix the "Harlem Dusk" special drink (including the recipe of moonshine in the 1920s)
