First lyrics sketch yasminharrosh https://padlet.com/yasminharrosh/njbt4wrk6sc17trh/wish/1593206972 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.]]> 2021-06-08 15:25:12 UTC https://padlet.com/yasminharrosh/njbt4wrk6sc17trh/wish/1593206972 10. Fragments for list - individual words and variations yasminharrosh https://padlet.com/yasminharrosh/njbt4wrk6sc17trh/wish/1593209977 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.

Ants in my bath- first try to compose the list. yasminharrosh https://padlet.com/yasminharrosh/njbt4wrk6sc17trh/wish/1593211915 This was my first attempt to structure the start of my piece for the Hermes experiment which consist of a soprano singer, Harp, clarinet and double-bass. ]]> 2021-06-08 15:26:42 UTC https://padlet.com/yasminharrosh/njbt4wrk6sc17trh/wish/1593211915 11. more concise development of the lyrics yasminharrosh https://padlet.com/yasminharrosh/njbt4wrk6sc17trh/wish/1593215433 This file is the first basis of the piece as it turned up in the end. ]]> 2021-06-08 15:27:55 UTC https://padlet.com/yasminharrosh/njbt4wrk6sc17trh/wish/1593215433 6. Ants in my bath - lyrics development yasminharrosh https://padlet.com/yasminharrosh/njbt4wrk6sc17trh/wish/1593220090 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.]]> 2021-06-08 15:29:30 UTC https://padlet.com/yasminharrosh/njbt4wrk6sc17trh/wish/1593220090 12.

Ants in my bath- first try to compose the aria. yasminharrosh https://padlet.com/yasminharrosh/njbt4wrk6sc17trh/wish/1593252577 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. ]]> 2021-06-08 15:39:35 UTC https://padlet.com/yasminharrosh/njbt4wrk6sc17trh/wish/1593252577 13. Ants in my bath- piano and vocal sketch yasminharrosh https://padlet.com/yasminharrosh/njbt4wrk6sc17trh/wish/1593292873 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. ]]> 2021-06-08 15:52:50 UTC https://padlet.com/yasminharrosh/njbt4wrk6sc17trh/wish/1593292873 9. Reading the lyrics to check how they feel spoken and the affect the order of the list has. yasminharrosh https://padlet.com/yasminharrosh/njbt4wrk6sc17trh/wish/1605349232 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. ]]> 2021-06-14 15:15:33 UTC https://padlet.com/yasminharrosh/njbt4wrk6sc17trh/wish/1605349232 14.
