When I finished my piece, I sent it to the dubbing engineers that were collecting all the individual pieces and then joining them together to create a single composition. My piece was set after a peer composition that was based on The Myth of Sisyphus, from Albert Camus. I was very glad of this because that essay was one of my biggest inspirations when researching my concept. That piece contain recording of rocks rolling down, representing the rock that Sisyphus has to push up hill. My piece harshly interrupts the ending of the Sisyphus piece with a very loud News anchor sound effect, breaking through and giving my piece power and focus, such as a breaking news report would do.
Before sending my last draft, Ed Baxter a producer of Resonance FM, gave me a little bit of feedback of my composition. He thought my piece could be perceived as a bit insensitive for radio. I didn’t totally agree with his observation because I did the composition insensitive on purpose, with the outcome of creating an accurate representation of modern news. Even though that, I did water down a bit my composition by lowering the volume of the news in their worst part to make them less obvious.
Another observation that Ed gave my was that my piece was very American orientated and I totally agreed with him. Almost every news I used were about the US. I think that this is the thing that I most regret in my composition and for the next time I will avoid referencing the US, because I am also tired of American centralization of media.
