I juxtaposed ‘The Gettysburg Address’ by Abraham Lincoln and ‘I Have a Dream Speech’ by Martin Luther King Jr. using stereo positioning to create the effect of conversational echo. These two speeches have such a close tie that they begged to be heard together and purposefully overlap during the beginning and end of the piece.

I placed Native American ‘Day of the Dead’ celebration tones underneath. This third contrast was to subtly deliver the ignored plight of the Native American to the subconscious.
