I found this podcast very interesting. \u00a0It “is an experimental sound piece that blends 1940s Dr. Pepper radio ads, original violin music, and sounds of thirst and thirst-quenching.” \u00a0The transitions were designed with purpose: though uncommon in most musical pieces, many were choppy or sudden.\u00a0 I believe that this decision provided the piece with more interest, as it allowed the listener to focus on each set of sounds, rather than hearing them as a singular piece.\u00a0 The sounds worked together beautifully to tell the intended story.\u00a0 The Dr. Pepper radio ads combined with the opening of the cans, pouring of the beverage, slurping, and burping provide an ideal image.\u00a0 They allow the listener to see an individual experiencing the refreshment of a cold soda.\u00a0 Beyond that, the sounds of the panting and feet running on gravel, can cause the listener to sympathize with the individual that the piece has suggested; an individual who, one can assume by that noise, has been exerting him or herself and is exhausted.\u00a0 Therefore, the soda appears even more appealing and deserved.\u00a0 There are several other ways to interpret the piece, but, based on the design of the sound clips, that was what I felt was the purpose for the listener to grasp.<\/p>\n
