RADIO PEICE

child reaction to quicksand thinking piano soundtrack crickets classic scary movie music movie excerpts saying “quicksand” struggling voices crying silent film over-laid music bells crescendo piano orchestra scream slowly decrescendo television laughs scripted voices my little pony theme song speeches references to vietnam and movements 80’s music galaxy sounds star wars theme song Throughout the piece, there were many different sounds incorporated to enhance the speakers point of the ages of “quicksand” and how it has marked time periods in film, community, society, and fear. The most effective use is the appropriated sounds from films. The soundtrack to star wars and clips from dated movies in the age when quick sand was considered “scary” enhance his point of its important in the mid twentieth century. The use of these also show the progression from fear to quicksand being made a joke of. Throughout the entire piece the chaos gives the dynamic and feel of anxiety, which is a point the speakers address greatly. It creates an tense and stressed atmosphere through sound and puts you in a plane of anxiety which i find to be an important quality of the piece.
