Poem task

As in an introduction task to broadcasting, we were told to find a poem and match an instrumental piece of music as well as two sound effects to go along with it and it must be between sixty to ninety seconds.


I decided to go with the poem 'Fingernails; nostrils; shoelaces' by Charles Bukowski as I think he's an excellent writer and the poem doesn't use extremely complicated or old language as a lot of poets do.


In terms of music, I'm still thinking about what I could use. I'm thinking of a simple track like Remembrance by Balmorhea or All That We Are by Audio Machine. Another good contender would be Dawn - Live by Lowercase Noises.


I'm not entirely sure about sound effects as I think It could cheapen the aesthetic but as it's part of the project I'll go with something relevant that won't dampen or mess up the sound. Potentially wind blowing or a clock ticking or a city sounds. Something along the lines of that. I'll figure it out.

Remembrance by Balmorhea

All That We Are by Audio Machine.
