Project NOW: Soundscape Commentary on the Israel Palestine Conflict — Cosmo Meadows-Hills

For this project, I have created a soundscape that serves as commentary and discussion for the ongoing conflict between Palestine and Israel. This soundscape focuses heavily on the perspective of the action and inaction of the western world on the conflict — in which the soundscape opens with sounds of TikTok and other social media, then transitioning to the empty words and prayers of politicians, government officials, and then to the coverage by news media outlets. The soundscape then transitions to the protests and action of those who disagree with the United State’s funding of Israel in the conflict and then to the sounds of the war as it’s happening in Palestine and the brutality and bloodshed that is taking place.

I would like to make it clear that, with the involvement of audio recordings of the war as it’s currently taking place, in no way do I wish to show disrespect or insensitivity with their inclusion — rather I only wish to continue to push awareness and prompt questioning and conversation around the topic.
