Notes to voice artist:

The array of voices functions like interferometry in that it synthesizes a more complete picture across time and mode. These are three voices of the same person:

·      Existential: The aged voice: Spoken with reconciled insight, a melancholy nostalgia. Can be understood to be reflecting on a previous position (metaphysical voice). Poetic. Internalized. More cynicsm?

·      Documentary: Objective taxonomy, in the present. Functions as anchor points in the narrative. Because it’s a list it can be faded out to suit the film’s timescale.

·      Metaphysical: The voice of youth: Asserted stridently – dynamic and projecting forward. Inflected with poignancy when understood in relation to the actual future (existential voice). Discursive. Externalized.
