Below are the performance files for audience performance.

Please turn your phone volume about half way up. It should be very audible but shouldn’t sound harsh.

Play the iPhone ring when you see my hand raise for the 3rd time, and after you hear 4 iPhone rings from my sound.

iPhone Ring

Play the Ahh when you see my hand raise for the 4th time, and after you hear 4 short Ahhh’s come from my sound.

After pressing play, staring singing this Ahh quietly, on the same pitch, and walk slowing towards me and form a circle around me, facing out, towards the audience. The file will stop playing by itself, and should crossfade with your voice, which will continue after the file stops.

After I stop singing lyrics, fade out your voice until you are no longer singing.

Ahhh
