Music plays a huge part in how we approach our projects, but we&#8217;re more used to the process of trying to bring in music to fit images, rather than the other way around. So to approach music in the reverse was really quite refreshing. But beyond even just the idea of driving music with images, we were drawn to the heart behind Moodsnap- the goal of creating meaningful, authentic listening experiences. &#8220;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>We take mixtapes seriously and invite you to make your own.
