Petra's Dark & Dreamy
THE BELLS, EDGAR ALLAN POE, (w/ bells sound effects)
Drift off to the soothing sounds of the bells as described in this rhythmic poem from perhaps one of our first "rappers," Edgar Allan Poe. (see Episode outtakes for details, available to subscribers).
Each ambient episode is designed without music or jarring sound effects in order to flow into the next episode without disrupting your peaceful slumber.
Episode Note:
I’m pretty sure when any one of us first glances upon The Bells, our hearts are struck with fear at the repetitive nature.
i am not a literary scholar, I am simply a person who loves dark poetry with a voice people say they like to listen to.
But I am a musician, and this poem emanates rhythmic challenges I am happy to accept. Akin to rap, one might say… who knew EAP was a rapper back in the 19th century?
In typical EAP fashion, this poem begins happily and ends on a dark note.
Love it or hate it, this was a fun challenge. I'd love to hear your thoughts, and you can send me a message if you'd like to share them!
A version of The Bells without the sound effects will be available for subscribers, as well as humorous outtakes of the first attempts to find some rhythm in the stanzas where it seems not to exist. (Not sure I ever did find it...)
