Un segno nello spazio

Danielle Segen, soprano; Thomas Feng, piano

The Water is Wide

Vocal improvisation with audio media. Two separately recorded vocal takes combined. Text and melodic incipit by the composer:

changing.  
breaking the sky and skipping over time.  
waves drift the sea shifts.  
all my dreams are in the sand.  
my songs float away on the wings of the terns.  

The Water is Wide
