Here is the sound piece out of Australia that Amanda's poem made me think of. They use sound, voice, cello, and repitition of the word "if" creatively to tell what could have easily been a straight news piece.
IF by Sherre DeLys and John Jacobs (6'25")
A young patient, Andrew Salter, responds to "what if" questions, reinventing his experience of being in hospital through metaphor and allusion. With musicians Ion Pearce (voice and cello) and Hannah Peters.
It won Best Documentary: Silver Award in the 2002 Third Coast / Richard H. Driehaus Foundation Competition.
that was beautiful.
ReplyDeleteReally great. When the repeated Ifs first come in, before the instrument, it made me think of a Radiolab piece I will track down and post.
