This "audio verite" was captured using location sound recording techniques particular
to documentary film. In editing, the challenge was to take the various sounds and fabricate
a sense of place, a mise en scene, in which the drama could resonate. Voice tracks from
interviews were layered and woven about "background action." The narrative unfolds through
a litany of archetypal characters. The classic narrator's voice is thus passed like a torch
from one to the other. In the end, I hoped to create something that had the gritty realism
of a documentary films and the musical formality of an opera.
