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.
