Title

[audio interpretation of "The Shepherd and His Flock" (B)]

Description

The audio starts out with a voice of an older man. Then the music starts and it's piano notes building up. Another sound is also continuously in the background, which sounds very mechanical and disturbing, almost like chains. These three elements: the man's voice, the piano, and the chains are all playing interspersed. The man speaks throughout the piece, saying different things about his life in a reflective manner. The tone of the piece changes about midway through, to something more contemplative and somber, creating a very dark undertone with the repetitive mechanical sound on top of it. It has a soft and hopeful ending, with pleasant high notes and the mechanical noise slows, and finally all you hear is the man.
