This Is The Voice Of Your Conscience Mix

After being deeply inspired by Sen. Bernie Sanders’ filibuster/long speech on Friday, UFOverdriver worked quickly to make use of it in a sound collage. The goal was to capture the moment and preserve it in a form that would highlight long, uninterrupted stretches of his speech.

Sen. Bernie Sander began his speech at 10:25 AM and ended it over 8 1/2 hours later at 6:59 PM. Many of us who watched it as it happened felt we were watching a historic moment.

This sound collage is composed of 5 parts/tracks; with a short introduction, the beginning of the filibuster, a short interlude, another uninterrupted segment of the speech, and then the conclusion.

Enjoy!

Track 1 (03:30) Fortress America Is Waiting For A Message Of Some Sort Or Another

Fortress America Is Waiting For A Message Of Some Sort Or Another can be heard as a sound collage of this moment in time of social confusion and directionless fog – both in Washington DC and for the voices on TV.

You can call what I am doing today whatever you want, you it call it a filibuster, you can call it a very long speech. I’m not here to set any great records or to make a spectacle. I am simply here today to take as long as I can to explain to the American people the fact that we have got to do a lot better than this agreement provides. – Sen. Bernie Sanders

Track 5 (02:42) After 8 And A Half Hours, Truth Yields The Floor

The sound collage ends with After 8 And A Half Hours, Truth Yields The Floor which includes the conclusion of Sen. Sanders’ speech and some closing statements from the Department of Civil Defense.

If the American people are prepared to stand – and we’re prepared to follow them – I think we can defeat this proposal. I think we can come up with a better proposal which better reflects the needs of the middle class and working families of our country and, to me, most importantly, the children of our country. And with that, Madam President, I would yield the floor. – Sen. Bernie Sanders
