Could melodies and sounds represent the right emotions of a crisis?

There are different processes going on within a crisis.
This is an experiment to express this process within a piece of self composed music instead of explaining with words. Various samples from radio and TV shows support the music.
Listen closely and try to imagine how the melodies and sounds lead through the challenges of life.

Weit weg von Zuhause (Englisch)

What is a crisis? According to the dictionary a crisis is an emotionally stressful event or traumatic change in a person’s life. This radio piece talks about different situations of emotional crisis and how people deal with it. Emotional crisis doesn’t have to be always related to bad things or sad experiences; you can also relate them to happy moments and good feelings.

Leaving your parents house is one of the most common events that trigger an emotional crisis. The question is: How do you feel about leaving? Some people may be excited to start a new adventure, some might be nervous to travel or live by themselves for the first time.

Demokratie Krise (Englisch)

Mankind love to play games, also politicians do it. Usually we have the chance only to listen to some news about politicians and they like to hear themselves.

Politicians are leading our country, economy, laws, education systems and our life. But they also influence the media and manipulate our ideas. What does a real democracy need? Do we need one leader for our opinions? Do they always need to say the truth? Let’s think about democracy and how we want to control it with good journalism. Become the leader of your own opinion!

Crisis in democracy is everywhere. What can we do? We need independent media, and journalists who have courage. Then democracy can be a real democracy.
