Siqi Mou Final Project Music 220a Fall 2008

IDEA: Why are there so many Siqi's?

This music, or multi-channel monologue, comes into being as a result of the conversations in my mind. At the beginning of my sophomore year, I did a sophomore college in music improvisation, which has opened my eyes to the infinite possibility of musical experience and artistic profundity. Inspired, I start to question myself about my conviction, my goal, my interest and passion, which resulted in a debating in my mind. At a time, this debating has directed me to a conundrum where I cannot find a solution. This uncertainty and insecurity about future has made me further explore my potentials and the variety of aspects in myself.

METHODOLOGY: How to represent so many Siqi’s?

Recording: I used Pro tool in Mac and microphone to record my voice, voices in Studio D.

Effects: Most of the editing is done in pro tools. To represent different layers of personality in myself, I chose to use a variety of voice effects, which is accomplished in chuck.

Variety: In the selection of different levels of volume, I intended to make them correspondent to the actual situation. For instance, weak voice represents a hesitant attitude, while loud voice shows a strong opinion.
