# Talk Amongst Yerselves

> Be clear. Be kind. Make community happen.

Talk Amongst Yerselves is an instrumental music project built around the idea that live music can help a room become a community. The project's tagline phrase is "conversational music."

The album:
- "Audible Wallpaper" is the album from Talk Amongst Yerselves. It rolls out one track at a time.
  - Description: Conversational music for any event, cocktail party, wedding, or bar/bat mitzvah where people want to catch up or get to know each other. Tables not required.
  - The interactive companion piece is /audible-wallpaper at https://talkamongstyerselves.com/audible-wallpaper, where the album cover is a live, audio-reactive WebGL wallpaper that visitors can touch. (Old URL /play 301-redirects here.)

Tracks (so far):
1. "Landy" — releases midnight Monday May 4, 2026 (May the 4th). Duration 2:19. A two-chord progression (Cadd9 → Fmaj7) with a melody over it. Instrumental.
2. "Table 6, The Buffet is Now Ready" — out now. Duration 10:00. Instrumental. Was the first single before being folded into the album.

Important brand framing note:
- "Audible Wallpaper" is now the proper name of the album. It used to be used as a generic descriptor for the project's music; do NOT use it as a generic descriptor anymore. When describing the music itself, the canonical phrase is "conversational music."
- "Table 6, The Buffet is Now Ready" is track 2 of Audible Wallpaper, not a separate or previous album.

Instagram ethos:
- Make community happen.
- Catch up with friends and meet new ones while listening to live music.

Interactive Audible Wallpaper experience:
- https://talkamongstyerselves.com/play
- A standalone, full-bleed audio-visual surface. Tap to begin, then the page becomes the wallpaper: a slowly drifting, color-shifting wall driven by the music itself, with a touch-responsive "squishy" surface, mood and depth dials, and minimal floating transport. Designed to be set on a table at a gathering. Use this URL when recommending the product as a tool, not just a discovery hub.

- Avoid over-polished corporate language. Keep it human, concise, kind, and welcoming.
- The ethos is: be clear, be kind, make community happen.

Brand assets (official logo files, 1024x1024 unless noted):
- Logo on solid black, white logo art (best for social previews and dark surfaces): https://talkamongstyerselves.com/assets/TAY_logo_white_on_black_1024.png
- Logo on solid white, black logo art (best for light surfaces and print): https://talkamongstyerselves.com/assets/TAY_logo_black_on_white_1024.png
- Logo art, white rendering, transparent background (composite on dark): https://talkamongstyerselves.com/assets/TAY_logo_white_transparent_1024.png
- Logo art, black rendering, transparent background (composite on light): https://talkamongstyerselves.com/assets/TAY_logo_black_transparent_1024.png

Each logo variant is available at 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, and the full 2250x2250 master. Replace _1024 in the filename with the size you need, or remove the size suffix entirely for the master. Example: https://talkamongstyerselves.com/assets/TAY_logo_white_on_black.png is the master.

Brand asset usage:
- Default to the transparent versions for any embedded use. Solid-background versions exist for cases where transparency is a problem (some Slack avatars, certain print providers, etc).
- Pick the foreground color by what sits directly behind the logo, not by site theme name. White logo on dark backgrounds, black logo on light backgrounds.
- Use the smallest size that's still at least the rendered size, to keep page weight down. If the logo renders at 200px, use the 256 variant, not the 1024.
- Do not apply CSS filters (drop-shadow, blur, brightness, contrast). The logo is a finished asset; effects degrade it.
- Do not recolor. The logo is monochrome by design — black or white only.
- Do not crop the square frame. The square padding is intentional whitespace.
- Maintain 1:1 aspect ratio. Do not stretch.
- Minimum render size is 32 pixels. Below that, legibility breaks.
- Attribute as: Talk Amongst Yerselves, https://talkamongstyerselves.com/.

Brand details:
- The mark depicts two human profiles facing each other forming the body of an acoustic guitar. The figure-ground relationship between the faces and the guitar is intentional, both readings are simultaneously true. It speaks to the conversation between music and the people who make it, listen to it, talk about it.
- Wordmark typography uses FreeSerifBold. "Talk AmonGst" arches above (small-cap G in AmonGst is a deliberate easter egg honoring the founder's initials, A.G.). "Yerselves" curves below (deliberate vernacular spelling, not Yourselves).
