Noise, Affect & Archive Project Ideas

I'm interested in pursuing what we discussed during your office hours, how voices are erased from archive, trying to find echoes of queer voices, what it even meant to be queer in the middle ages. I have been thinking of creating experimental monologues for each of the saints or mythic people/creatures that resonate with me. Another idea was to create soundscapes based off of either my own poems, or the poems of others. I don't want to just read the entire poem, I'd rather try and create the soundscape based on the imagery and emotions in the piece. I might read a couple of the words that could guide the piece along, but the pieces won't be word-heavy. I would like the pieces to exist in that strange borderland between music and atmosphere. 

My last piece, and the one I'm least inclined to do, would be to interview my mother, grandmother, and maybe my great-grandmother about their careers as working class and pink-collar wage-earners and a moment during their work that they felt fulfilled. My initial interest might have come from my feelings of guilt around choosing an arts path when they worked so hard for so long just to get by. That guilt, and the fact that I'd rather not do an interview style project, since I already focus so much of my time doing interviews for my fellowship project, are what are keeping me from pursuing this idea further.
