ノ·セ ゼ·ミ
no·sé zé·mi
“I don’t know, man, I’m just a cicada.”
On a summer day,
or perhaps a day in the deep of winter.
If you are feeling a bit underwhelmed at the moment, why not pick up this app and try to strike up a conversation with a cicada? You can’t really talk to a cicada, though you might just find a spark of something.
“ノ·セ ゼ·ミ (no·sé zé·mi)” is a minimal musical instrument app designed to let you freely manipulate the voices of cicadas.
