This week we return to a visual prompt. And … here it is:

Your task is simply to use the image as a jumping off point for singing.

Your vocal improvisation might be simple, melodic, rhythmic, verbal, abstract, silly, sacred, simple — that’s for you to discover.

(This photo was taken at the summer meeting of the Moving Star Vocal Improvisation Lab at Carnegie Hall.)

To Contribute

The steps are as follows:

• Step 0: Sign up for a free SoundCloud account here.

Deadline: Your tracks should be uploaded by midnight wherever you are on Tuesday, August 9, 2016.

Description: It would be awesome to include a short description of where and when you sang your piece.

Title/Tag: When uploading to SoundCloud, put “[sss-hands]” in the title of your track. Also include the term “sss-hands” as a tag. This will help us find it.
