The first performance by Evelyn Ang, Angela Cortez, Melissa Estrella, Daniel Ho, Jeremy Koh, David Ng, Leslie Tay and Felicia Teo Kaixin trook place on 14 December 2016 in the Dhoby Ghaut Visual Arts Centre. Dirk Stromberg processed live the voices. Each singer was given a portion of Yoshua Yang's drawing entitled Still Life in Blue Minor. This premiere was part of a production entitled Hearing Images & Seeing Sound conceived by Robert Casteels with funding from the National Arts Council Singapore. The exhibition and performances revolved around the questions whether a drawing or a sculpture can be made to sing, whether a sound can be made to draw. The production also involved visual artist Milenko Prvacki, videogtrapher Hilmi Johandi and electro-acoustician e-luthier Dirk Stromberg. A 78-page catalogue was published.
