"Planetary Bands, Warming World," utilizes pitch as a medium to output recorded temperatures since 1880. Each note in this piece represents a year, and in this case; each member of the string quartet represents a region in the Northern Hemisphere. On top of that each instrument is tuned to the average temperature of their respective regions. In relation to our group project we have been primarily using rhythm and timbre as an emotional appeal to the content.

"Dead Reckoning" is a dance piece that uses the kinesthetic movement as well as color to evoke an emotional connection to climate change. The choreography is meant to show how we have interacted with the Earth; and that our actions will have consequences. I honestly wanted to watch and research dance pieces to see how I as a musician can communicate better with dancers for collaboration.
