Episode 59 - ”Audio Sound Blot” - Lot#1 Growing Old & Sardines
This is my creative take on a psychometric tool referred to as the "Rorschach Test." Subjects are presented with ambiguous inkblots and invited to share their perceptions/interpretations with clinicians to analyze. The goal is to discover underlying personality traits. My goal is not so lofty. It is simply to share something creative that might cause for the listener a "moment of reflection" about self or the world. While this episode is primarily a tribute to creativity, it is also simultaneously a "covid-19 sound capsule" about the concreteness of my here-and-now moment. I think we need creativity more than ever at this unique moment in our shared history. I invite you to create your own "audio sound blot" or "covid-19 sound capsule." Tapping into our creativity opens the door for some nonsensical fun, imaginative connection, and a chance to feel good during these hard times. T-shirt Idea: Sound Blot Special Thanks: Special thanks goes to Captain Jack, Danielson, Blazing Phoenix, and Woodrow for their contributions to this blot creation. Wooodrow played a piano piece from Eiffel 65 called "Blue (Da Ba Dee)." Comical Resource: 1) Whenever I need to laugh, I listen to this little clip of Captain Jack accidentally eating a bug.
