- Construction Notes -

The ideas for this SoundCollage were originally sound fragments or samples, based upon key word searches in the Freesound.org database. Only later, fueled by the draft title, and a "trial by fire" score (see illustration), did the sound symbols reveal words – and ultimately a short song.

[ i. ] An idea sparks, some resonance or purpose is visualized and / or heard

[ ii. ] A title is crafted and utilized as exploratory scaffolding
