Music I arranged The Tell-Tale Heart for a "cyber-gothic quartet"—four distinct voices drifting in and out of phase to mirror the narrator's fracturing mind. (Headphones recommended)
Helloooo!
I made a composition using four readings of The Tell-Tale Heart, sourced from LibriVox. I tried to make it move like a translation of the narrator's mind. I have split it into sections and have been making videos to go along with it. I have been working on a couple of different styles for the videos. Please let me know what you think! I can't post the video here, but you can find the different parts on my tiktok page.
