This audio clip gives the impression that it is some kind of radio announcement. It is made known in the audio clip that it is Orson Welles and the Mercury Theater speaking over The War of the Worlds by H.G. Welles. Since it is being told over the radio it adds to the feeling that it is supposed to be some important radio announcement. This piece makes it feel as all of the 'updates and breaking news announcements' are actually happening because it's being played over the radio. I believe the narrators are trying to accomplish this feelling.
It was difficult for me to gather what John Cage was trying to get across. The piece sounds like some warning message or a radio message. He is talking without minimal background noise (only some kind of static noise) and addresses everything in the third person. It seems like some kind of compilation of random thoughts or quotes that he is trying to get across and wants everyone to hear.
This piece has a very creepy tone to it. It's a man repeating the words 'She was a Visitor' over and over again with dark background noise. The dark background noise then turns into some kind of whisper noise which adds even more to the creepy tone. I don't really know what this piece is trying to get across. What I gathered from it is that the man is trying to get a point across to the audience that he didn't really know this lady and people made rumors about the situation.
This is the story of a woman walking through Central Park, NY. She gives clear directions on which way to go (which way she is walking) and wants the audience to do the same. The audio was recorded while she was walking so it makes it as if the audience were there following her. The added background noises of New York add to this sensation. The pictures that were added with this audio helps add to the tone of the audio. I haven't tried but, listening to the audio without the pictures could possibly tell a completely different story.
This audio piece describes the life of the camps. There are identifiable characters throughout the different narrations which makes it easy to follow along. Each of the six 'camp stories' were easy to follow along through the vivid narration.The tone of the piece was set by the sound of the harmonica in the background and the other various camp noises (people talking in the background, campfire noises, and the sounds of children). The switching from the first-person story telling to the third-person narration made it more personal with the narrator.
