In this three-star assignment, Cat, only mere months after her father’s premature passing, decides to do some spring cleaning and sell the piano that contains fond memories.
This was the first Audio assignment that I didn’t premeditate and script out; I just let my thoughts flow and recorded them as they came. It actually proved to turn out a lot better this way when I didn’t think about it and just kind of became Cat! I also used this a redemptory assignment towards my Sound Effects story, which pretty much totally blew because I DID try to script and plan it out. I’m not sure which method is better overall for me, but it’s good to switch it up every once and a while and create beyond your confines.
All the background sound effects other than my voice (yes, that is me singing at the end and YES, I am sorry for making your ears bleed) were found on freesound.org. It was totally unplanned, but I thought it was really cool how Cat’s descriptions totally synced up with the church bells chiming three times … almost as if they are tolling for her father, and she’s thinking about how she’s essentially literally letting him go. And at the end (maybe a flashback, maybe in the present?) you here the far off voice of her forlorn soul:
You will always be
My necessity;
I’d be lost without
You.
