Journal 8: Proposal

For my final project I'd like to create a musical piece that compounds several songs and interviews by The Beatles. I will edit the songs with a variety of effects and cuts to make a unique track out of Beatles elements. Ideally I'd like to organize the work in an interesting way. For example I may have a four part sequence with each part emphasizing the best work of each Beatle. I could also try to create a kind of historical narrative, starting with sounds from 1960 and ending with sounds from 1970. My biggest challenge will definitely be on the technical side. My goal is to have cuts and transitions that sound seamless to the ear and are smooth to listen to. I know for sure that I will use a lot of repetition in my piece. I think it will be interesting to try to formulate a kind of pattern or beat by repeating and looping words and sounds. My piece will also be illustrative of my subjective experience of listening to the Beatles. I will feature the songs that I like the most and not necessarily include the consensus hits.
