Another Australian Speculative Fiction Group photographic prompt to which I’ve written two responses.
This time, I’ve recorded them, without printed words. Nothing too sophisticated. Just the fun of recording new work to ‘try it out’. Clearly, to me, one piece is stronger. Both would probably shape up better with some work, and if ever considered for a ‘performance’, they’d get some polish in the 1 – 2 weeks beforehand.
Hope you enjoy the effort, regardless.
The second one works really well with the image (which alone has me intrigued). For me it gave more depth to the picture and a sense of old abandonment the the place seems to be. The voice at 0:23 “don’t push me” reminded me of someone I can’t put my finger on but just that little change in voice added more character to the poem than I think I would have done reading it.
Well done
Thanks Scott. A bit of fun. I felt the first one might have been the better effort, but it shows you aren’t always the best judge of your own efforts. Work all right without words posted?
I think the first one flowed better. The second one seemed a little confusing until the end so listened to it a second time with the foreknowledge.
Thanks Jade. The 2nd one seemed just a little clunky to me, too, but I really enjoy playing with these different ideas for the same image, and in this case, spoken, rather than written.
Such fun.
