Acapella singing (we are never alone)

“Physical isolation with a possibility to socialize virtually isn’t the worse situation. But still, being closed in and limited by wall space during a long period, destabilizes the human psychic and his/her growing demand for social contact can create an unexpected form of resistance.
Finding myself confronted with four walls and suddenly having a lot of spare time, triggered in me a desire to work with experiments that in everyday life could look stupid and useless.
I always wanted to sing a cappella – not because I feel I am a singer but just to try to keep rhythm and maybe melody, and train my memory. I made several try-out videos during a two-months period. The result wasn’t satisfying because all my doppelgangers never managed to make a nice melody and they weren’t able to sing in unison. But the process was funny and entertaining – exactly what we need being secluded.”
