For this audio experiment, I sampled a recording of “Hush Little Baby” to create a rather annoying string of “mama” interjections. This turns the original lullaby, intended for a parent or caretaker to sing to soothe a child, into an attention-getting gesture that a child would direct at their mother. With an Arkansas women’s prison as the original context of the recorded audio, this role reversal in both the intention of the lullaby and the audience-perceived meaning of the it intrigues me.
