community singing
wat
“I believe that community singing, which I define as, when a group of folks come together and they sing songs together that are easy enough lyrically and easy enough melodically to be taught in the moment. And then we sing these songs, which I personally call spells or prayers together that are amplified and help put us in some sort of altered state through the process of singing these songs, it's a technology for belonging. It's a technology for metabolizing grief.”
~ Alexandra Blakely (aka, ahlay)
waarom
Ik ervaar zelf zoveel schoonheid en betekenis in het samen zingen. Steeds meer ben ik me bewust wat ‘gemeenschap’ betekent en hoe erg ik dit heb gemist in mijn leven. We leven in een maatschappij die gericht is op het individu, dus onbewust ontkende ik de leegte waar normaal gesproken een community zou zijn.
Nu ik dit niet langer kan ontkennen, is het tijd voor verandering! Ik ben bezig met mijn songs meerstemmig uit te schrijven en zou dit graag met jou zingen!
VOOR JOU?
Verlang je ernaar om te zingen? Om gemeenschap te ervaren terwijl je zingt? Om artistiek bij te dragen aan thema's die onszelf en de wereld raken? Om te onthaasten en tegelijkertijd vreugde te ervaren?
Voorkennis van zingen of koorzang is absoluut niet vereist. Ik werk zonder partituren en de vreugde van het samen zingen staat bij mij voorop.
Beetje bij beetje plaats ik de demo's op soundcloudNEDERLANDS. Als je nieuwsgierig bent kun je alvast luisteren :)

why
I myself get so much beauty and meaning from singing together. More and more I realize the impact of community and how much I have missed this in my life. We live in a society focused on the individual, so unconsciously I denied the void where there would normally be a community.
Now that this is no longer deniable for me, the time has come to transform that! I am working on my songs polyphonically and would love to sing them with you!
FOR YOU?
Are you longing to sing? To experience community while singing? To contribute artistically to themes that affect ourselves and the world? To slow down and experience joy at the same time?
Prior knowledge of singing or choral singing is absolutely not required. I work without scores and the joy of singing together is my number one priority.
Bit by bit I will be posting the part-voice demos on soundcloud. If you are curious you can listen in advance :)
