about

A piano and organ in a church, some hand claps, the sounds of waterfalls and fireworks. Here is a series of experiments. Mark sent me a poem, and I wrote a musical response. I sent that music back to him, and he responded to my music. And back and forth. These experiments gave me a sense of continuity through a whole year in Iceland. I was always gathering sounds for the next work, traveling with Mark’s words in my head. The songs are now records of my travels, of the weather in a time and place, sounds of the city and of nature, the musical resources around me, and of the people I met through the year.
