The Idea of the North

This listening experience for me was very unsettling. The conglomerate of voices that continually overlapped in a manner that inhibited an ability to focus on a single voice was disturbing difficult to understand. It reminds me of the concept of psycho-acoustic experiences in which the audio track offers a psychological experience for the listener. I do however, appreciate the rhythmic nature of the piece. It asks you to remain open-minded to the way in which dialogue itself can be manipulated in manners that resemble music through phonetic syntaxes that involve elements such as beat and tempo. I found it clever to alter volume levels so as to bring dominance to specifc words/paragraphs as opposed to others.
