This is a breif vignet. A moment or two taken from someone's life. Monica Mueller has a wonderful presence. Maybe its her rich voice and the comfort she has in speaking these words. Maybe it's the decided curiousness of her Austro/European accent. I felt immediately transported back in time upon hearing this 1:22 piece.
It leaves you hanging in mid-air, craving more of this story...or others. Fascinating concept. Worth a listen.
I like these pieces from Monika Mueller's series a lot. Another reviewer called them haikus. That seems appropo. Her voice is dream-like with an edge that draws you in. I'm not sure what she's talking about but it isn't the words. It's the feeling you get listening to her. I'd say run these during April poetry month. But run a bunch of them with some dreamy cool music in-between. Remember Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon and listening to it late at night when you're half asleep and getting all these fantastic mind movies in your head. With the right music in between, these dream poems could really work. Of course what station would do this? A college or community station definitely. Anyone running Echoes late at night would be drawn to this as well. I do think it would make Mueller's work more marketable if she could string her series together herself with music and have it ready to go as a half hour or even an hour....in the meantime, stations, give it a try...
