Chimerical (2017)

existing only as the product of unchecked imagination: fantastically visionary or improbable

President Ronald Reagan delivered a speech to the American people in regards to the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. This piece uses the recording of this speech as its sole means of sound. Meaning, everything you will hear is derived from Ronald Reagan’s voice. The form of this piece follows, to an extent, the timeline of events on the day of the disaster. Starting with the build-up to the already delayed launch, the launch, the moment after launch where everything was going according to plan, the explosion, and the fall.
