...à son dernier soupir

The Listening Year at Big Walnut Creek is a recording and music creation project exploring the changing sonic ecology of a place. Every week for a year, I will make field recordings at Big Walnut Creek in Putnam County, Indiana. To help interpret these recordings, I'll consult with scientists, environmentalists, the performers, local residents, other artists, and student assistants, facilitating an interdisciplinary, intergenerational creative ecology that is in conversation with the ecology of the creek. Following the recording and interpretation phase, I will create an hour-long musical work for New Morse Code (cello and percussion), whose title, form, content, sound material, and media emerge from this conversation.

Like A Language

In Columna is scored for chorus, 2 violins, cello, lute, and organ. The text (sung in Latin) is taken from Exodus 13:21 and 13:22:

21 By day the LORD went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel by day or night.

22 Neither the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night left its place in front of the people.

-Translation from The Holy Bible: New International Version

In Columna was commissioned by Seraphic Fire, Patrick Dupre Quigley, Artistic Director, in partnership with the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.
