This piece combines voice (recording of "The Sound of Silence"), loops, and sound to create an ambient effect.
I think that the dramatic music you have in the background is very interesting, and your use of sound effects in the background is very cool. I think more of a beginning that builds up the tone would have been nice (like, if it had been slower to go into the words).
The reverb you added to your voice helps set the tone of the piece. Some of the sound effects also assist the meaning of your excerpt. In some sections, however, the background music seems a little too calm for the text. For example, when you say, "Then my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light...," there are somewhat soothing background footsteps and music.
I liked footstep introduction, and bringing those footsteps back later in the piece added a cool layer to it. I also liked the people-talking/crowd effect that happens later in the piece. I listened to this a couple of times - I'm definitely a fan.
I commented on "The Bartimaeus Trilogy Edited," "King Lear Beat," and "Green Eggs and Ham and Music."
The footsteps at the beginning were a good way to introduce unresolved harmony concept from the book. The dramatic music in the background also helps create a nice atmosphere (when in the context of the lyrics of the song).
You captured the mood of the excerpt well with the dramatic music playing in the background. I agree with with the footsteps in the beginning as it created an interesting introduction into the piece.
