How do you want to join in?
Nothing is recorded and nothing is stored.
How it works
- I sing you a tone — low, calm, with breath.
- You go along: sing, hum, or simply hold your finger down.
- When your breath runs out, it's over. That is not failing.
There is no score
Nothing here is graded. Not how accurately you hit it, not how beautiful it sounds. Only one thing is measured: how long you go along — and only against your own last time. There is no leaderboard, and there never will be.
Your microphone stays with you
Pitch is calculated directly on your device. Nothing is recorded, nothing uploaded, nothing stored. No recording is ever created — and anyone who prefers not to grant microphone access plays with a finger and gets exactly the same experience.
First the prelude: stillness, breath, mirror
Three small trials before you start — you do something here, you don't read anything. No microphone, no score, no sign-up.
The Stillness
I've been standing up here still for two hundred years. Try it for a minute. Not for me — I just want to know what comes, when nothing does.
Warming up
4 short exercises before you start — from the sigh to the whole scale. I sing them to you, then it's your turn; and while you sing, I stay quiet so you can hear yourself.
Five times from high to low, like an exhale. Don't push — let it fall. 10 seconds
The words
Ah ah
Ah ah
Ah ah
Ah ah
Ah ah
My songs
3 pieces you'll find nowhere else — the words and the tune are my own. I sing you the melody on an open vowel, the words run along syllable by syllable. After that the song is yours. (I sing in Berlin German — that's part of it.)
Calm and steady. Four lines, with room to breathe between them — for me too. 21 seconds
The words
Zweihundert Jahre steh ick hier,
der Wind jeht durch mein Kleid.
Und wenn du singst, dann sing ick mit —
wir haben beide Zeit.
If you like, let's talk properly
The tone was just the beginning. I can speak too — about Berlin, about two centuries of roof beneath my feet, about whatever you're planning.
