Reading of an original poem in the style of Edgar Allan Poe set to music and images to evoke a feeling and atmosphere of suspense and focus. This project attempts to use suspense and story to cultivate healthy attention in listeners. The images and audio go along in the story of but were edited with the intent to not be overbearing. Their purpose is to add atmosphere and immerse the listener not to become the main focus of the project.
I wrote this poem last year for a creative writing class and was inspired by the poems of Edgar Allan Poe. I thought it would be an interesting candidate for this project because it is sort of naturally slow and very story focused, both of which are elements I think would work well in slow media.
