Structure

The space for the piece is 60 to 90seconds. Over this time my elements will set the scene of the bar, introduce the atmosphere, and then begin a naration that ties the bar into the theme of one square metre. The bar noise will include layers of people's conversation, drink noise, glasses clinking etc. The bar noises need to set the scene and be the focus of attention at the begining including focus on actual conversation. Then the bar noise needs to fade down to allow the narration to be heard over the top.

The narration will pause and the ambient noise becomes the focus again, almost as if in the private world I can narrate and be heard louder even though the bar noise continues underneath. Then the piece will finish with the bar noise again, hopefully with a good snippet of conversation. I hope to also use repetition of recorded sounds like glasses clinking and pouring beer, as a repetition through the piece.

I'm working on telling a story through the narration, about the things I hear in conversation. Even though the space behind the bar is very small (one square metre) I hear a lot of interesting things.
