Our Sound Sculpture depicts a typical week in the life of a career-oriented person or a student.
In both cases, the Sunday woes occur (the crying sound) when one realizes that the weekend is coming to a close and the rigid weekly routine is about to begin again.
There are some deadlines/due dates to be met as the week progresses and the fast paced lifestyle picks up again. There is a shroud of confusion and a sense of unknowing as the struggle becomes evident in hopes of motoring through to the weekend once more.
As the week progresses and Thursday and Friday comes along, they are more optimistic and look forward to the relaxation and partying that the weekend brings.
The crying again ensues as Sunday comes along (the day when you realize work still has to be done and the whole cycle is to be repeated).

I really like your piece! It is really interesting and how the tempo of the music is irregular – which represents what you described as the ups and downs of everyday life
Also, don’t forget to categorize and tag your post!
I loved this! So truthful, that is basically how the week goes by.
I love this. It was more like a song than just a sound bite, but it still expressed emotion and transformation. You did an incredible job.
Wow that was really an impressive sound bite. I definitely could relate to the “crying” sound you guys put in to represent Sunday. I think we all know that feeling.
Like the sped up Hotel California (very good song). The different mix of songs is very symbolic of anyone’s week. Confusion is a must in any given week too. Great job !
