E13 (S2) Birds Flying High: A sonic piece of Black excellence, confidence, and being loud

This sonic piece was created by Becca Rosenzweig as apart of the class, MUSC1240S: Feminist Sonic Futures, taught by Dr. Enongo Lumumba-Kasongo. This piece is a mix of ambient sounds, vocal samples, instrumental samples, and effects. This sonic piece is meant to highlight different aspects of the talents, confidence, and beauty from Black female-identifying artists in reference to a number of readings and literature about feminism and sonic practices.  All effects and most of the non-vocal/instrumental samples were mixed by Becca Rosenzweig. Other non-vocal/instrumental samples were downloaded from zapsplat.com. The vocal samples are from the artists: Nina Simone ("Feeling Good", 1965), Missy Elliott ("The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)", 1997), Lizzo ("Truth Hurts", 2017), Beyonce ("***Flawless", 2013), Nicki Minaj (instrumental) ("Feeling Myself", 2014), and H.E.R. ("Focus", 2016).
