About our research initiative:
We invite musicians to participate in a unique collaboration. As part of the Common Lives Project, you and a fellow musician will capture your daily activities using GoPros during collaborative practice or recording sessions.
Responsibilities include wearing a head-mounted camera to capture footage for 5 separate days within a 2-week window, with flexibility to take breaks and pause the camera for privacy.
At the end of each day, spend around 2 hours to upload, review, and manage your footage securely.
Household Requirements:
* No children (under 18) present or visiting during the recording period
* All adults in the space must be fluent English speakers and consent to being recorded
* Must live in a private, self-contained apartment, building, or indoor work environment
* All household members must agree to appear in the footage
Participant Requirements:
* Must work indoors in non-customer-facing roles (e.g., not retail or child care)
* Participants who share the same workplace or household should both have a GoPro mounted during the activity.
* Preferably engaged in manual or creative work (e.g., chef, baker, artist, carpenter, musician, electrician, mechanic)
