Blurb:

In Chapter 5, I consider extramusical readings of the tonal shade and mix placement of Wainwright’s voice. By adapting another of Moore and Dockwray’s methods (the soundbox), I analyse the placement of the voice in the mix, and depict it visually. I combine these soundbox analyses with psychoanalytical readings of the ego, suggesting how Wainwright’s voice, autobiography, and sense of self work together.
