I have decided to write a piece based on clock sounds!You could say i got inspired by Captain Hook, but i am not Peter Pan.Anyway, through this piece i want to express the anxiety and stress in this new way of life.Starting with some old clock sounds i want to express how i imagine life some years ago before modern technology.Just before the middle of the piece,i want to use original digital clock sounds and sometimes concealed ones to express new modern life where a person has to rushed for everything.This kind of situation can cause bad results!A sound that will always follow the piece is a clock sound used as a heart beat, to make the listener feel the increasing levels of anxiety.

The score i am making is going to be separated into 8 parts (8 sounds) , where each cm represents one second of the piece.Different colors will represent different sounds, for example the heart beat will be in red color.The hard part for me is to find clear old clocks sounds with no noise around, which i have managed to find yet.(I really need to find a clock with a cuckoo)

check out this video in you tube!I wish i could find such clock to record!!!
