DESCRIPTION:
My transcription of the highlights from the Obama and Romney presidential debate of 2012.

The melodies and harmonies have been extracted by adding reverb to the utterances and then translated on to the guitar. Often it was necessary to place phrases an octave up in order to include more harmonies and stay within the register of the instrument.
The piece is performed live to a playback of the video as one live take to give a musical interpretation and display of the vivid musical substance "hidden" in the speech.
