I thought I'd get a bit experimental and write a piece of music in tandem with a script.

The idea is for the VA to say certain lines at certain points in the music, tying in with what's happening. It may be a bit difficult but I think it'll be really neat if someone can pull it off.

I would have liked to do a live recording, but alas, I don't have a full orchestra on retainer, so you'll have to settle for samples.

Synopsis (Listener perspective): You wanted to learn more about music theory, so you signed up for a music composition course at the local community college, but it turns out the professor is an old flame of yours. You meet them in their office for advice on a composition project, but it soon becomes clear that the kind of harmony they want to discuss isn't just the musical kind.

For the music, check the link in the script.

Writing this reinforced my belief that I am an entire wheel of cheese, but hopefully cheesy is someone's preferred flavor.

I'd like feedback on how doable the whole concept is for a VA, as well as the usual "consistency of character/tone" and "pacing" stuff.

I also welcome feedback on the music. It's not really on the level of something a music professor would compose, but hopefully my patchwork of knowledge gleaned from books, YouTube and the occasional music lesson got me somewhere. Let me know if I need to work on my mix or something.

Word count: 1137 words including directions

Inclusivity notes: No physical descriptions of speaker or listener.

Sound Effects and Improv: The original music is essential to the script. All non-music sound effects optional, but I think they're helpful to set the scene.

A bit of improv or rephrasing to help your reading feel more natural to you is welcome, but I would prefer if you keep the wording in the section where the music plays as close to the original as possible.
