This vocal sound composition, my Final Project for Sound Aesthetics & Production, was reflective of the life I have lead in the past two years: it has taken place in increments of 3-4 months, in many different places and with many different people. My aural piece was intended to capture some of the thematic emotion of arriving in a new place – the excitement, the nervousness, and building attachment. Then, the frantic energy of the climax serves as an emotional catharsis equivalent to the sudden realization of the approach of an imminent ending. Where the first half of the piece dealt in novelty and thrill, the second half is meant to be a sort of reconciliation; a looking forward while appreciating the present and the past. The piece, while not completely encapsulating my experience of each individual place, is meant to evoke this sort of cyclical series of experiences, the emotion that accompanies rapid-fire and short-lived social and spatial settings.
