I love the aesthetics of space which is what initially drew me to the Leonid Meteor Shower over Niagara Falls<\/em>, I knew I wanted to work with it in some way but was not sure what style of audio would best work for “enhancing” the image. Picking a “celestial” instrumental soundtrack seemed the obvious thing to do, but I wanted to push the idea a little further so I started searching for spoken word poetry relating to space. I stumbled upon Gas and Gravity<\/em> by Hieron which uses acoustic guitar from martinsea<\/a>, the voice of SackJo22<\/a>, and the electric guitar and voice arrangement from 7OOP3D<\/a> to help create their piece. I did have to drop the quality a bit on the audio to get the file size right for upload, but otherwise I made no additional changes to the audio besides pairing it with the image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I believe that pairing this audio with this image emphasizes the idea of light found in both pieces, creating a story of sorts that the lights from this meteor shower over a hundred years ago can guide us today through space and through time. I think the music that accompanies the poetry also works to push the “story” forward, there is a sense of dread in some of the rhythms that I think speak to an idea of being pushed over a (metaphorical) waterfall (or otherwise into some precarious situation) while the voice assures us that the lights above will guide the audience to safety. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
