For my compositional strategies element 2 assignment, I have decided to make a western audio narrative, in the style of a radio drama with elements of story telling mixed in with music, much like the episodic radio dramas of the 1950’s and 60’s.
I have decided to have a central narrator for most of the story, as I do not have access to voice actors, so this would allow for most of the story to be described by myself. A large inspiration for this piece would be the Red Dead Redemption series of video games which I played over lockdown, which I feel that the music is exceptional at following both the action and more quieter, slower sections of the games. This is a feeling I would like to recreate in my audio drama.
