Cry Me A River (cover)

Sound project 3

Poem:
The amethyst duo
Assembled side by side 
Petals laced with shades of darkness 
A monochromatic magnum opus 

Looking at you 
Looking back at me 
Voluminous lashes frame your soul 
Delicate perfection, the envy of every being 

Fragile and demur 
Purple armor obscuring 
Shielding your soul 
What lies within? 

Silent but not still
Newly born limbs billow in the breeze 
A wallflower absorbing the world 
Inspired by light 
Will your full beauty ever be realized? 
--Jennifer Isicoff 

Design Description:
    The text I used for this assignment is an original poem inspired by one of my favorite Georgia O’Keefe paintings, “Black and Purple Petunia.” Through my description of the petunias, I intend to obscure what they truly are, giving them human-like qualities, such as a soul and eye lashes. I want to convey feelings of mysteriousness, tranquility, and affection with my words and my sound. The “characters” in my sound are represented through the strong presence of call and response within the music piece I sampled. My goal was to enhance the realness of the relationship between the two flowers, the duo. I chose to primarily use what I consider to be sounds of nature throughout my sonic narrative. This is most noticeable in the inclusion of wind chimes, wind, and bird chirping. Moreover, I imagine that, the sound of a flower is much like the flower itself, delicate, airy, subtle, and calming, I intended to give my sound those qualities. I made a conscious choice to enhance the reverb on the wind chimes as I think it gives the sound depth in a much lighter way. I also edited the wind chimes pitch to align with the sampled music piece so that they would blend smoothly and further my vision of flowers blissfully moving in the wind. I believe the journey or existence of the two flowers is represented largely through the feelings provoked by my sound and their pertinence to the relationship most individuals have to flowers. Flowers are pretty and simple, they smell nice, they look nice, and they generally give people happiness. To me, happiness and beautiful simplicity go hand in hand and my ultimate goal with my sonic narrative was to create a soundtrack of that idea.
