So I played some of these songs for a captive audience of 2nd graders. I called them over in little groups and made my eyes very wide and serious as told them that they were going to be part of a conceptual art project. And although they had probably never heard that phrase before, the responded in kind. I played the songs off my iPod and told them to draw about the music, whatever it made them think of. I was surprised at who ended up taking it very seriously and which ones were bored and confused. Some good quotes: “It sounds like a rocket ship taking off!” .. “Can you play some real music now? Some Michael Jackson?” and “Is this a man or a woman? It sounds like a man-woman!” to which Antoine replied “I seen a man-woman once! It was doing a funny dance.”
