INTERPRETING VOICE, SEEING SOUND

What if text could evoke multiple senses? This piece, a poem by Lord Byron, engages readers’ visual, verbal and auditory senses and challenges them to think about the world in a new way. Byron’s poem urges readers to engage with a musical world: one in which the wind and water provide unnoticed sources of music. This piece plays upon this idea, visually emphasizing the natural and rhythmic tone of the poem. The industrial soundtrack, however, departs from established tone pushing readers to expand their preconceptions of music.
