You, Me, Sings (2021)

You, Me, Sings is a small musical toy that invites you to compose a rainstorm. In You, Me, Sings, the player is presented with a selection of little characters, each with its own note to sing. As the player selects these characters one-by-one, they are placed on top of each other. Players act as conductors, constructing their own musical sequences and discovering the sonic qualities of each singer. Once a group of singers have been placed into a stack they form a choir who sing a chord together. As the player adds more and more choirs, a storm accumulates and eventually falls, revealing the larger musical composition.
Part compositional device, part experimental game, and part audiovisual experience, there is no specific goal other than to find pleasing and novel compositions. You simply play the rain you have brought together and hear it sing around you.
