Found Sound Nation’s creative collaboration and exchange work can be broken down into five pillars of practice, which are described below: 

 

• Music as Social Practice: Creating music as an expression of our full humanity, to lift people up, bring people together, and to tell our own stories and histories

• Innovation and Creation: Developing new platforms and ways to collaborate with one another meaningfully through sound making

• Storytelling + Documentation: Presenting our stories and personal histories through sound as media, including video, audio, writing, photo, web, and more.

• Creative Collaboration + Deep Listening: Incorporating different worldviews, backgrounds, and experiences into a collaborative creation process through deep listening, patience, and understanding

• Global and Cross-border Collaboration: Learning about societies outside of one's own; using sound and music as a way to shape and share personal & cultural experience and societal issues
