Through musical “conversations” the piece takes abstracted sounds from a marketing “pitch” and gives them meaning through musical discourse. By fragmenting and rearranging the words of the pitch with new, artistic logic, the piece seeks to reclaim words and phrases instrumentalized towards corporate profit.
