Description:
I recorded myself reading my poem"Connect the Dots." I added drums and sound effects. Then I recorded Calli Armstrong singing "Nearer My God to Thee" and added that as three affected voices.

Lyrics:
CONNECT THE DOTS

as the Titanic was sinking
the band played on;
when they began
their last song,
the man who’d requested it
had already drowned.

when King Kong fell
his mother was still living;
she received the news
through the natural internet,
and all she could think of
was grooming his fur.

there is a beast
that can only be seen
reflected in water.
it was fathered
by cruelty.
it was mothered
by memory.
it cannot be killed,
and the polar ice
is melting.

what a surprise! the poem is facinating ... and your vocal presentation of it spot on. production and effects all working great .. and then the haunting female vocal through out! just great!
