Blog Post Week #4

Our group is doing a piece that speaks to the issues rising in our world surrounding climate change. I found this piece that takes two sounds, a tone and a pluck,  and uses data from carbon emissions to turn the sounds into pitches.  The intensity of the pitches increases with each year which you can view on the counter at the bottom. I found this interesting because our group is trying to make a similar statement about the alarming status of our earth right now, and I found this piece very effective in doing so.

I really like this example because the song that is featured, "gasoline" by Halsey, features very descriptive ambient sounds that are reflective of space and ambience. I found the dancer's interpretation of these small inflections very moving because sometimes, the dancer moved to cues that I would not normally be listening for. Our group has been discussing composing and improvising the piece alongside our dancer so that it is more collaborative in the moment rather than rehearsed.
