- Rhetorical context
- What are your purposes and goals for this project?
The purposes and goals for our project are to bring light to the talent musical artists have. They are able to create poetry and then add it over music. By reading it vs singing it, they are creating two different emphases and emotions within the same words.
- Who is your audience?
Our audience is primarily those who are interested in music and the development of the process and the steps taken to create this type of art.
- What is your context?
The context we have chosen to focus on is the rhyme and meter.
- How do these factors play a role and what and how you will compose?
These play factors in music because of the emphasis and meter an artist puts on words. Reading it vs putting music over it can change how one hears it and projects it. The rhyme goes along with meter because you are able to change the echo and slant rhymes to match better with your story.
- Genre
- What genre are you composing in?
Our genre for our podcast is co-conversational. We are going to be researching about music and poetry as a part of performance poetry. More specifically we are going to be looking at the Hip Hop or Rock music.
- What are the rhetorical strategies that composers need to use for their sound writing to be identified as a piece in that genre?
We need to make sure to give eachother ample time to make points and talk about what we found interesting that way we can both feel fulfilled with the radio show that we produce. For our topics, rhyme scheme is a big component of songs as well as the meter and rhyme. Songs can be interpreted differently depending on who is reading the piece. This affects the way the piece is performed and how that performance can be further interpreted.
- What are some of the “optional” rhetorical moves people make in the genre?
People sometimes will decide to defy these rules when it comes to Hip Hop and rock. They will include long musical interludes and long passages of words that don’t do anything to satisfy the piece. This is often to create some sort of discomfort around the piece. Everything is chosen for the reason of conveying some sort of emotion or another.

Potentially 3–5 songs, each one pointing to a different importance of the form that is executed and how it is conveyed . 5–10 minutes per song.
- How might you organize your content?
We can organize our work and break up the topics we are talking about by using multiple songs in our podcast. This was each song can work as an example of a different point we are going to make.
- Audio assets
- What kind of audio do you need to collect?
We need to collect one of two songs that we want to analyze. We may need two so we can compare and contrast them or we can choose one and break it down thoroughly.
- Where and how will you collect these audio assets?
We will collect the audio assets by listening and researching them. We will listen until we find one that we think would work, then we research it to find the origin or the song and see if it happened to start as something poetic.
- How and where will you organize these assets?
We will organize these assets by adding them into our zotero to keep them stored and keep track of them.
- Deadlines
- What do you need to get done and by what date?
We really only need to focus to get this done. It is interesting to us so once we get moving I think it will be easy and entertaining. The deadlines you have been providing seem to be the perfect amount of time so far.
- What days and times will you devote to this project?
We will devote any extra time we have to this project. Thankfully we do a lot together and have free time typically together. We can also begin to dedicate two true days a week to work hard and then many other days to do some here and there
