Composition 5- Venus

The work for Venus has started.  The idea behind this piece is to merge classical, text/speech and concrete styles in order to create a piece based on love and peace just like in Holst's Planets Suite.  With that in mind, poems have been edited and manipulated in Metasynth in the following way:

These poems have all been manipulated in such a way so that the speech itself is still somewhat intelligible.  This is so that the messages of peace and love can be heard.  

The next steps for the piece are:

1) To manipulate the orchestrated version of Holst's Venus
2) To create a sound file of the same frequency which Venus creates from its movement (221.23Hz)
3) To put the whole piece together
