Listen to the world waking

Overview

"During Covid I worked again with the San Francisco Girls Chorus, this time for six months on Zoom. We talked about finding a place where choristers could reflect, sit and listen over the course of six months. Some choristers went to gardens and parks; some found spaces inside their homes. They sat, then took notes, then collected objects, then sound and video. They sent me all of this collected material. From their texts, my long time collaborator Denise Newman and I wrote a libretto. The choristers composed the music and sang the lyrics. I scanned their objects and made a video using all of these materials."
