Introduction

In English the narrative unit kicked off with the Listener Lyric a.k.a. the Lyrical Essay. A lyrical essay uses elements of poetry and prose to create unique pieces of art, typically intended to have a strong message or just to be fun. Below is a screenshot of my lyrical essay to show how they can be formatted.

This freedom in formatting allows the artist to convey their story telling ability however they want.

Process

I knew I wanted to make something related to music. I love music, so it was really fun to turn to a more anti-music piece. I delved deep into why people dislike music I love so much. Going through many different drafts, different formatting styles, I came to this final product I can say I am really proud of.

Adding sound effects and other noises in the lyrical essay, I am able to give a more professional feel to my essay. It is easier to listen to and is more entertaining with the extra stuff I added. To add those things, I needed to work in ProTools, a sound mixing software.
