If You Listen, music by Anne Hege, text by Camden Richards, is an excerpt from the soundtrack for the artist book Water, Calling. Water, Calling is a collaborative artist book which explores the cyclical and omnipresent relationship of water and the self, inviting the reader to reflect upon water as more than a commodity, but rather as life giving: spirit, flesh and soul. Because water is evidence of all who came before us, it is a foretelling of all who will be; through it we are in conversation with our ancestors, our descendants, and with earth herself. Water, Calling traces these existential threads through waterscapes of text, image and sound, extending an invitation to enter more fully into a dialogue composed of acts requiring active listening, contemplative reading and deep seeing with the hope of inspiring sacred reciprocity.

Carnal Spill Part 3 Reflections Within

Deer Dance from Borrowed Prey I commissioned by Carrie Ahern and Present Pariah, Inc. This piece is for the opening solo in Carrie Ahern's Borrowed Prey I. This is a live recording of a piece that was improvised and slightly different at each performance. I have always imagined a light snowfall accompanying this piece and a lone deer playing in the first snowfall.
