About:   
 Based on Alfred Lord Tennyson’s poem of the same name, this electroacoustic work was            made using vocal improvisations and dramatic readings from Margaret McNeal and Paul          Smirl. However, rather than transparently presenting the poem in its entirety, this piece          explores the listener’s perception of the text and the human voice, from fragments to                  whole stanzas and clear speech to beyond recognition. The imagery of Tennyson’s poem          often drives the textures and immersive environments.
