Origin[]
George Frideric Handel was a classical composer whose works strongly influenced the Baroque era of music. Born in Germany, Handel performed concertos and operas in Italy and later settled permanently in London as a naturalized citizen. He was considered one of the style’s masters by his fellow peers, including Beethoven, Mozart and Bach.
Effects[]
Allows the user to see sound waves and arrange them in a specific order. Can be used to create new sounds from the ambient air, excite certain wavelengths, alter pitch and intonation in speech or negate sounds entirely.
It has been noted to produce strange auditory effects when exposed to Handel’s body of work. Water Music causes water to become violently agitated, especially when near the upper class. Music for the Royal Fireworks makes every noise give off a luminescent, writhing crackle of light. Alexander’s Feast will make any listener’s emotional state become strongly tied to their current thoughts. And all the oratarios of Biblical basis will recreate some aspect of the story.
