Preoccupied is an internal monologue that documents real items from last week's To Do list. The play begins simply with a soothing whisper, but quickly the dialogue begins to mount and overlap with itself, creating a sense of urgency and stress. This quarter has been overwhelmingly busy for me. I was inspired to make this play when my dentist told me I should floss more, as it made me realise that all the little things you're supposed to do every day can really add up.
The sink and alarm clock are localized, and the tooth brushing pans from side to side. All the voice recordings are my own voice. As a note, the tooth brushing and showering sounds were much louder when I mastered in Audacity with headphones. I am curious to see how this sounds in true 4-channel audio.
