RE: "What Do Words Mean?" / My 1st Collaboration on DSound—Music by@grant-vegra
I loved the poem, the power and vulnerabilities of words flowing through. This worked well with the music behind it. Volumes were good, and your reading came through, paced beautifully by the rhythm.
You’re a generous soul & this makes me very happy to hear —I got coaching from @d-pend, who turned me onto @dsound, about how to hold mic, etc... Glad you think it worked and the words/what’s in between them reached you 🙏🏼
I have to learn how to position the mic better, so glad to hear you are learning the tricks of the trade. As for music, that's still a further step in my constant progression, but I'm enjoying the ride, and seeing it work out for people such as yourself. I'm in your slipstream, I hope you don't mind?
Hah, wonderful word/concept, “slipstream”—thanks, for introducing me to it.
I think (one) trick is not to speak, directly, into mic, but to hover over it. Also, perhaps, to have bit of cloth over it. Trial & error...
Music is fun, and gives it more texture and dimension. I’ve had musicians accompany me in the real world, as I read, and enjoyed that. I was even, recently, part of a musical play (I read poetry, they played instruments and sang) and find that music has a calming influence on audience (and the shy poet, yours truly, feels less alone). Sweet dreams, my friend. 🙇🏻♂️
