Friend of my heart, Walk on this sacred path of history, Feel the numbers’ shadows falling free Upon us, tracing tattoos without scars On our souls, retracing those barbed wire bars And numbers meant to wound our ...    less

We discuss the compositional process, including the philosophy she holds related to the "end product" for singers. Namely, the importance of the singers exploring their own communities and connections WHILE also exploring the Music. We also bounce ideas back and forth related to composers having to be careful about "over refining" a composition, as well as the Music world's attempt to balance goals of equity with the human need for each composer to be valued based on their OWN Music and individual expression.

To have control over something matterless, we control it with the knowledge about it and thus gain power over it. The almost sinister thought “I'll tell you. You're young, but you're one of us, and I'm one of us, so I'll tell you.” gives the Toxic Psalms its tone. For in the background of the whole concert arch death utters and murderous plague intones. Through the Music the project reflects Palestine, Syria, Pussy Riots, weapons, concentration camps, blood feuds, extinctions, contaminations of religions and creates a picture of human brutality. The living of a man is changed into a drama here and now: men killing for the glory of their psalms. The author’s poise is not one of an agitator – awaking the feeling that “something has to be done” – it is rigorously contemplative. Despite ...    less
