From belonging to diverse cultures and having different tastes in music, we come together to form a community where we express ourselves and learn about each other through music.
Chords & Co., though an MIT Club, caters to students' musical interests from various colleges in Manipal.
Our club consists of one working committee and two communities.
The working committee functions with five departments: TPD, CW, GD, PR, and HR.
Whenever there's a need to clean up a soundtrack or create a beat for a video, the Technical & Performance Department (TPD) comes into action. This team ensures and works hard to present music at its best. It is the place to be if you have a knack for performing or love tweaking around with the intricacies of music.
The Content & Writing Department (CW) is the brain behind all our club's content. We create posts and blog articles on a diverse range of topics which range from trivia to actual technical concepts about music. We have something for everyone. The department brings together creative individuals who love expressing their love for music through writing.
Next comes the department, which complements the CW Department- the Graphics & Design Department (GD). This team produces the best possible posters, designs, and visuals to go with CW's content. This team designs all the event graphics.
Then comes the Public Relations & Marketing Department (PR). The club has an image, and they work to maintain that. From sponsorships to collaborations and fundings, this department manages it all. They play a significant role in supporting the people of our club.
Lastly, but in no way the least, we have the Human Resources Department (HR). From planning club events to maintaining interpersonal relationships in the club, the team manages it all. They supervise the club in every conceivable way. They are the true backbone of our club.
Apart from the working committee, the club has one music community and one performance community.
The music community is perfect for all music enthusiasts, irrespective of their musical knowledge and experiences. Even if a person has no idea about music, it is a place to learn, grow and find fellow musicians who encourage others to get into or continue their musical journeys.
Along with the music community, there is a performance community. It recognizes performers and allows them to hone their musical talent. It is a place to meet fellow experienced musicians, where everyone is encouraged to participate in several events. Also, this is a platform that gives artists opportunities to perform in college fests and several musical events.
We do it all, from reviewing, discovering, and creating diverse types of music to conducting contests and live shows. We share our take on various musical topics through our blog, ranging from album reviews to personal musical experiences and more.
Music has no limits, and we try to prove that here!
