an experiment in creating an expectation by mentioning the title of the piece

Inspired by my little I wanted to create a longer piece that uses the mention of a word and a musical reaction.
I wanted to repeat the words in a different order and use an unexpected combination of words.

# data[].attributes.body
Based on the list of words I have also composed a poem using most of the words that appear on the list. My aim is to make the listener get use to the reading of the list of words that don't quite fit together and then break that expectation by singing a poem that combine most of those lyrics.
As you can see the title is quite unusual and hopefully it will draw the listener in.

I was happy with some of it. I realised after listening back that the order needs to be a bit more clear and the change should be more gradual in order to create/break and expectation.
Also I wish to compose the words or the list and perhaps have them or the music around them change gradually as well.

This is a vocal and piano rough sketch of myself just trying to improvise a melody with the lyrics. this version is quite far away from the ending result but there are elements of it that I kept.

I have used elements from this in the final piece but some things have changed. I ended up simplifying the fragments even more and the change is created by the placement of the lyrics, intention of the singer and the accompaniment of the ensemble.

This sketch is the basis to my arrangement for the Hermes workshop we had on the 17th of April.
The placement of the words in the list is a bit too predictable still.
In the process of writing this I have tried to imitate the voice of Héloïse Werner, who I am writing for. This is the first time I am writing a song that is not meant to be sang by myself.
