Commissioned by Gaudeamus Muziekweek for their 2021 festival.

Program Note:
The concept for this piece comes from The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows, a collection of words invented by John Koenig that “aims to fill a hole in the [English] language—to give a name to emotions we all might experience but don’t yet have a word for.” The title for this piece comes from the definition for “silience.”

This word is something I felt deeply following the King Soopers shooting in my town of Boulder, Colorado on March 22nd 2021. I remember that day vividly, as I was receiving my first COVID vaccination while the shooter was active at the grocery store down the road. As our community grieved the loss of ten lives, I witnessed an incredible spirit and strength in those around me. I was amazed by my students–by their ability to face the weight of this tragedy, and their ability to hold space for others. I truly believe that community, our collective strength and care, is the highest form of excellence human-kind has to offer. And while we're here: ban guns. 

silience, n. the kind of unnoticed excellence that carries on around you every day, unremarkably—the hidden talents of friends and coworkers, the fleeting solos of subway buskers, the slapdash eloquence of anonymous users, the unseen portfolios of aspiring artists—which would be renowned as master- pieces if only they’d been appraised by the cartel of popular taste, who assume that brilliance is a rare and precious quality, accidentally overlooking buried jewels that may not be flawless but are still somehow perfect.

This recording is our interpretation of a traditional ritual lament song "dalai" from the Tusheti region in Georgia. Originally, the song is performed by a soloist and a choir without any instrumental accompaniment. 

"Dalai" is a Georgian folk poem song.
The name comes from the refrain("dala ჲ...") that is attached to each Tayyip verse. "Dalai" stands in complete isolation in all Georgian folk music - it ends with an alternation of speaking and unison choir, and the horseman (pronouncing "Dalai") begins in a sad tone.
There is an opinion that "Dalai" came to Tusheti from the Vainakhs and Dagestan culture (in Dargvin musical folklore "Dalai" means song).

На горе лужок зеленесенькой,
Ой ну-но люлі зеленесенькой.
Є в мене дружок молодесенькой,
Ой ну-но люлі молодесенькой.

Під яблунькою солоденькою сидів
голубець з голубонькою,
Як летiв ворон з черної хмари,
забив голуба - нема їй пари

Мого голуба та й тута нема -
в мого голубця сизії крильця.
в мого голубця сизії крильця,
в мого милого щирії словця.

Keep your hand caringly open and allow it to remain there - it will always be there. Try to possess it and close your fingers around it - it will spill through the fist cracks it finds. "You see this water carefully contained in my hand? it symbolizes love"

LILLY KING - vocals and beats
Daan Leever - beats

The songs are about ordinary problems from a single, working woman in her twenties. So, about myself. Good moments, bad moments. About worrying about nothing. About love. About working as a musician. About searching for purpose. 
I use the character of ‘rapper’ and ‘neat girl’ to talk about sensitive subjects in a direct and light way. The beats are rich with a lot of unexpected sounds and the voices full of unusual harmonics. A playful collaboration.
