Mirror Canon

Conduct a round sung entirely by past versions of yourself. Perform a body-phrase, commit it, and a new past-you enters a few beats later in canon — a stacked round of your own selves in a wooden mirror.

A round of your own selves

Your hands are two singing voices — their height sets the pitch, your openness shapes the vowel. Perform a phrase, tap Add a voice, and a past version of you joins the round a beat later, in canon. Stack up to four and conduct them — mute, solo, and switch the whole stack between a locked Round and a drifting Phase (Steve Reich) cloud.
