Emmy Tither - This city has a metronome heart (Paris)

about

Notre Dame reimagined by Emmy Tither.

"It's hard to hear Notre Dame's bells now and not be reminded of the fire that caused it such destruction some months ago now. It's also hard to think of Paris and not think of the protests that the city is famous for - both currently and historically. These two aspects tied in, serendipitously, with the three words - vocally (and protests are often vocal), fuels (... a fire and a better tomorrow, maybe?), and buzzer (like that of an alarm clock). Combined, then, they inspired a sound piece that looks to showcase the beating heart, or metronome, of history that is Notre Dame with the aspects of rebirth and reforming that happen after a fire, after a period of protest and after an alarm rings. This piece inspires, in it's creator at least, feelings of anger and frustration but also, and perhaps weirdly, a sense of calm that things may not always be alright, but they will continue on."
