But Wait... The Luxury Continues for six spoken voices |

|
But Wait... The Luxury Continues was inspired by the varied and
often bizarre world of advertising. The composition is scored for six
spoken voices each of which announces a wide variety of short excerpts
from print advertisements collected over a period of four weeks. The
excerpts range from a word or two to several sentences and include claims
about products, descriptions of desirable places or human attributes,
reassurances, disclaimers, and finally reviews. In using these materials I
sought out more poignant and ambiguous human qualities among the concrete
superlatives of the consumer marketplace.
