6. Most of the time we don’t know the time

Speech transcription: I thought of all the hands on clock faces in dark rooms that were turning as the red light came and went. Most of the time we don’t know the time, so it passes us by quietly.

Above me, the edges of clouds got caught in the moonlight’s glow as they simultaneously morphed and travelled.

At the same time, somewhere, people would have been scrolling deeper and deeper into their social media pages; stretching the top of the feed to their current point of information overload. The ‘new posts’ button would pop up at the top of the screen inviting them to scroll to the top and start the cycle all over again.

Audio description: The clip starts with the same repetitive, circular panning sound from clip four (Four minutes past five), but at a lower pitch. A low and steady hum sits underneath this and a delay/echo effect catches the tail end of the sound each time it fades out. All the sounds that have been heard so far calm down as the voice starts to speak. The sound of a ticking clock enters with an echo and slightly distorted effect. It subtly and slowly fades in and out throughout the piece. The hum and circular sounds swell in and die down at different volume levels throughout. As the voice ends, an eerie whirring sound lightly fades in along with a high-pitched, distorted chirping. Besides this a subdued whistle can be heard too. Towards the end, there is the sound of droplets in an echoey cave. The droplets sound like they are falling in all different directions around you. These mix with the eerie sounds that have just been described, until everything fades into silence at the end.
