Alone Together started as an EP about a feeling most people recognise but rarely say out loud. That thing of being surrounded by people, connected to everything, and somehow still alone. The music was built from that — from nostalgia, from the way sound bonds itself to memory, from the moments in your life that a song has been silently carrying ever since.

When we brought it into a room, we needed something to help people go there together. That's what the cards became — 46 of them, 46 questions.

Music has this quality of running alongside your life while you're living it, picking up everything that's happening — who you're with, what you're feeling, what's about to change. A song doesn't just remind you of a moment. It contains it. And when someone asks you the right question about it, all of that unpacks. You end up somewhere real, faster than you expected.

That's what happened at Alone Together. Strangers asked each other about songs and ended up talking about their lives. Not because they were forced to. Because music had already done the work. The prompt was just the door.

SCENES started this four years ago — 350 people sharing memories in response to music, over a million streams, coverage across Mixmag, DJ Mag and Music Ally, and something that felt like a community across a distance. Alone Together was the next iteration — the same logic, in a room, in person. The cards were the lowest-tech part of the whole thing and did the most work.

This is a small run of that deck, made properly, for the people who want to carry the idea further than one night in one room. A prompt about a song is never really about the song.
