THE LOVE SURVEY a.k.a. ‘Anonymous Love Data Collection Project’

The Love Survey was a project started by Amber Goodwyn in 2022 to collect anonymous stories and perspectives about the experience of love, in order to write songs for her music project Natural Sympathies.

The survey has been circulated on-line continuously since then via Google Forms and paper surveys distributed and collected in oskana kâ-asastêki / Treaty 4, Regina, Saskatchewan. Goodwyn also conducted one-on-one interviews over Zoom, phone, and in person. The resulting album will be available in 2026.

A sound art piece called THE LOVE PROJECT was also created from the surveys. THE LOVE PROJECT debuted in July 2024 as part of holophon audio art‘s Listening Station at the Art Gallery of Regina. It features a selection of answers from the ‘Anonymous Love Data Collection Project Survey’, read by volunteer voice actors Jaecy Bells, Lisa Blond, Max Ceron, Risa Horowitz, Matt Horseman, Caitlin Mullan, Avery Mytopher, Britt Muir, Cecilia Rands, Mike Rollo, Phil Simpson, and Meghan Trenholm.
