Nika Bertram – LOUDER than the SUN

• Imagine your body as a radio.
• Imagine yourself as a radio.
• Tune in to yourself.
• Search for the clearest frequency.

         This is you.

          Where can other people find you? Where is your station?
          Are you on longwave or FM?

• Tune in and listen and turn on the sound, real loud
• Grab your best headphones and put them on.
• Grab some jogging shoes and cloth and put it on.
• Go outside. Walk around a bit. Towards a place which you like.

          Which song do you hear

• Listen.
  
• Imagine yourself as a radio.
• Feel the music.
• Play whatever you like.

         Who are your listeners? Are they young? Are they old?
         Do they like what you play? Do you please them?

• Yes? Then: change your frequency.

          Do you like what you play?

• In any case: change the frequency.
• Listen to other stations.
• Go for a change.
• Try to hear them as clearly as possible.
• Feel the resonance in your body.
• Fill your lung with air.
• Expand.
• Go deeper. And higher.

          What do you hear?

• Is it a romantic ballad? Then start some jogging.
• Is it some classical music? Then start to laugh
• Choose a song which makes you dance.
• Dance.
• Choose a song which makes you feel like a 12 year-old again.
• Listen and feel.

• Choose a song which made you fall in love.

         If you want to, you can sing now.

• Sing as if nobody is listening.
  (You are a radio, remember?)
• Fill yourself with air, let it out, and breathe again.

          You are a radio.

• Let the wind fill you with sounds, let it tousle your hair.

          Let it in.

• Listen.
• And walk.
• And change the frequency.
• Ride from station to station, while walking among other people.
• Listen.
• And amplify.

         If you like what you hear.

• Reflect.
• Turn yourself off.

          And start talking.
