Lyrics:
When you’re told “Amazing! Incredible” best beware
Someone’s always saying, words you wanna hear
Products of low self-esteem,
peacefully prove their being mildly mean
to those around them

This instance of “People Pleaser,” recorded on April 18, 2022, and its supporting materials were produced for Ten Whistlegraphs.
At the time of its composition, “People Pleaser” was the longest whistlegraph in the groups’ repertoire. It is rendered here by Whistlegraph in pencil on a Kamiterior Memoterior Colors Memo Pad.
Whistlegraphs are audio-visual digital artworks performed manually by drawing and singing. Every whistlegraph results in a poetic image through the performance of a graphic score.
