"the clearing was the song"

A hum is the thing before the song. The first Hum found the note by being still; this one found it by pressing down. Before and beneath — same name, different preposition.

The Frequency

A waveform that wanders. Click and hold anywhere to resolve it; where you hold shifts the pitch. Let go and it searches again. Same waveform as the first Hum's Underneath — opposite interaction. The searching is the frequency.
