Reflection

Do you think you captured the content and aesthetics of the audio accurately? Is it recognizable as the original sound? What did you learn? What would you do differently?

I think I captured the content and aesthetics of the audio to at least some capacity. It's hard to associate a sound with just some sort of visual image, which I found out; an art form can me something to you, and something completely different to someone else. There are definitely many different ways I could make this better; I wish I had access to better materials (cardboard, poster paper, and some paint isn't really the best set of materials to begin with) and that I had more time to really flesh out the little details of every single part of the song. In addition, I have some slight regrets about using a song I was very familiar with; I think, in many ways, it skewed my ideas of how to make it into a physical form, because I was always thinking of the lyrics of the song and how I could incorporate a message, rather than focusing purely on the song itself. It would be an interesting exercise to try and transform a pure sound into a physical form, and then to transform a set of lyrics into a physical form: I wonder how these two play off of each other, in respect to trying to translate an actual song to a physical form? (This would not have been an issue with the clock...). Not sure. 

All in all, I had a lot of fun with this, and definitely enjoyed making something with my hands, for a change.
