Congratulations on your piece for socially-distanced choir.  It was composed at a time when musicians could not gather and is a fitting reminder of the many who lost the battle to COVID-19.

CVS Bangers is a new vaporwave collective. Our debut concept strives to be beautiful and based.

CVS Bangers Presents: Restock, Aisle 7

Three years ago, the COVID-19 pandemic radically altered every aspect of our lives. I wanted to create a memorial to those who had lost their lives in the early days of the pandemic, and to try to find a way to make music with other people in a time when social contact was impossible. I had the idea to create a work for socially-distanced chorus. Friends and colleagues of mine recorded their vocal parts at home, and I painstakingly assembled them into the a choral tapestry. The lyrics are taken from the names of victims of the pandemic; each singer chose the names individually.
The contributing singers are: Emily Bell, Anna Elder, Emily Cook, Katie Palumbo, Suzanne Fatta, Guy Russo, Sam Theiner, David Gerard Matthews, and Erik Spangler.
