Giant Sing Along

Minneapolis, US | Gold Coast, Adelaide, AU | +

Singing in harmony with others–whether in a stadium, around a campfire or in a choir–is the expression of a shared emotion. Beyond beautiful voices, the pleasure comes from singing together.

Bring this to my city

Get up everybody and sing

Giant Sing Along  is a field of microphones inviting people of all ages and backgrounds to sing their hearts out, karaoke style. It’s about sharing in a collective musical experience, and no particular skills are required. To facilitate this, Giant Sing Along integrates a sound processing system that lightly auto-tunes the voices, creating a “quasi-professional” choir. (You’re welcome!).

The songs featured at each Giant Sing Along event are chosen online by the public. This process involves the local community in the project and guarantees the success of the party.

Giant Sing Along was originally created in 2011 for an international digital art competition organized by Northern Lights.mn for the Minnesota State Fair. Since then, the installation has become a staple of the festival and is one of the public’s favourite events. The installation grows with its audience, as new songs are added to the list every year.

Giant Sing Along Anywhere

Giant Sing Along is currently available for touring across the world. The installation notably traveled to Australia for the Commonwealth Games. The perfect occasion for Daily to plant its microphones on a beach!

Behind the Scenes

To help us with some of the karaoke videos of Giant Sing Along, Daily tous les jours was lucky enough to work with Spectrum Productions, the only organization in Canada creating opportunities for youth and young adults on the autism spectrum, through video and media production. Go check out their work!
