Nowt Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 I've been working on a bit of a side project just for fun really where I've been trying to collate a variety of audio clips from people about their differing experiences of love. I'd thought of putting it all together somehow and at some point, but not sure how yet. Some of it has been really beautiful and I've been amazed just how brutally honest people have been. The idea was that I provide a series of questions. The individual reads the question to themselves and then records their response to the question. The "listener" will not get to hear the question, just the answer. I thought I'd share a few here. I've put some really gentle music behind each as well which helps set the tone. Some of the audio might not sound too great as some people have recorded on their phones and with poor quality mics. These people are not actors and haven't been told what to say. They are just random people that responded to an advert I put out.... Part 1.mp3 Part 4.mp3 Part 7.mp3 Part 9.mp3 Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was listening back to them it felt almost a bit intrusive because they were so intimate. They're so diverse. Some really happy, some really sad, some really profound and some of them just make you fill up with joy (like the first one!) It started as a bit of an art project that's fallen by the wayside a bit, but I'd love to collate them altogether at some point. Thanks 🙏 Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faith Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 @Nowt Wow, pretty cool. My most fav is #1 to me it has the best music and I liked what she had to say, then next for me is #3, then #2, then #4 for various reasons. #1 music in the beginning sorta reminds me a bit of the beginning of this song, which I always loved since I was a kid- Quote Mention You're a thought. Do you think a thought is going to occupy 'no thought'. The 'changeless' can be realized only when the ever-changing thought-flow stops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bittersweet honesty really gets under your skin - that's what I appreciated most about the recordings. Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nowt Posted June 1, 2022 Author Share Posted June 1, 2022 @Faith Thanks! I wasn't going to put any music under them at first, but I'm glad I did. That first one is my favourite too. She was wonderful. I love that song too. I can remember being obsessed with it as a kid too! I used to listen to it on my Dad's record player and pretend I was Jeff Lynne! I always loved the "doo wap" bits in the chorus 😍 Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
