Rising Decline Revisited: Carousel and Collaborative Magic [Part 5 of 18]

Bill Selak Talks

In this episode, I dive into the collaborative magic of music and how it transforms into lessons for the classroom. Reflecting on my journey with my punk rock band, Rising Decline, and the newly remixed track “Carousel,” I explore how being present and relying on others—whether in a band or a classroom—creates something greater than the sum of its parts. Using cutting-edge tools like Logic Pro’s stem splitter, I also share how technology enhances creativity for musicians and educators alike. Join me as I weave together stories of innovation, teamwork, and the joy of making music to inspire new approaches in educational technology.

If you haven’t yet, listen to the previous tracks in the series, Camden Road and Picture Framed Candle. Stay tuned for the next episode, where you’ll hear the song Carousel in its entirety. This is song three of nine from Rising Decline’s second album. Enjoy the journey of nostalgia and innovation!
