"WARNING SONG"

Intricate and fierce cello, vocal and visual storytelling.

My favorite feedback so far, "Whoooooaaaa that was beautiful and terrifying!!"

[leahcoloff]

Warning Song, composed by Ted Hearne is meant to be presented with the solo vocal and cello parts played against a backing track of prerecorded cellos. I decided to make the accompanying tracks visible. I wanted to suggest possible narratives for the evocative lyrics written by Meghan Deans. And it was a chance to visualize the intersecting rhythmic intricacies and layering of the accompanying parts.
