Piece Comment

Review of Heat


I listened to this piece three times, but neither time did I understand it. The text on the piece's page helped, but I felt confused while listening.

I did like the mix and the elements that came and went throughout the piece. I felt the main actress sounded like she was reading too much, trying to affect the pace and accent of someone having an intimate conversation with a radio audience but not quite pulling it off. I know the sound well, because that's what I sound like when trying to do that. It's difficult.

This sounds muffled. It was made in 1990, so it could be from an archive that needs to be restored a bit.
