Mickie Wadsworth, soprano and electronics

I’m So Cold came from a collaboration with poet Lily Eager. The texts drew me towards electronics in an effort to create a desolate and echoing environment. When we are trapped in our thoughts, our minds become distorted and we often lose sense of reasoning. The voice seeks to find logic within chaos of emotion. 

“Cold
June 4th, 2020

It’s my hormones, I swear,
I tell myself as I hold back tears
Thinking about being held.

Today I took a walk in the 90° sun.

I’m so cold.” 

— Lily Eager
