Theme Sound Analysis

1. a.) montage/narrative
b.) This was more of a narrative than anything else because he is telling a story about his ADD, prognosis and living with it.
c.) This is a narrative and a voice instrumental.
2. a.) This artist did not break the no music rule, though he might be touching on the idea of voice as instrument, even though it was all repeated words. There was a rhythm to it. 
b.) This artist did not break the no music rule but did include clanking patterns in the background periodically which goes well with ADD theme because it's as if someone is in the background tapping something.
c.) This person did not break the no music rule.
3. a.) This makes sense because the artist was trying to portray a stressful and hectic day. By combining and layering the same words over and over again varying the volume, it is clear what message he is trying to get across. It is a somewhat complicated and convoluted piece which works well his topic.
b.) This structure makes sense because there is both repetition and growth throughout the piece which is the perfect setting the show growth within a person dealing with the disease ADD or ADHD. 
c.) This structure makes sense because voice as instrument and the distortion of the voices saying "slight pinch" or "ouch that hurts" really brings about the feeling of pain and the haze created by the process of piercing or tattoos. 
4. a.) The variation of amplitude and pitch combined with the repetition and pattern of words
 like stressful bring about an idea of chaos with in his mind and his world.
b.) The repetition of words and the increased amplitude and pitch of certain repeated points increases the listeners inability to focus on what's going on, thereby getting across the message of what it's like to live with ADD/ADHD.
c.) The variation of amplitude and tone and pitch really send across the idea of loss of control and pain throughout their piece.
