This is a compilation of audible memories that is meant to engage listeners with the sounds of my time in Palestine/Israel during September to June of 2020-21. Throughout this time, the COVID-19 pandemic, high holidays, and national fighting took audible place. What may seem like cacophony has been placed with intention, chaos and meaning, and is a piece of a greater (sometimes overwhelming) sensorium. 

You are encouraged to listen to the overlapping moments in my memory and imagination. The process of listening and recording kept me from disassociating in times of chaos, curious in times of loneliness, and nostalgic in times of feeling home and love.

I hope these pieces that I brought back with me stir feelings and thoughts that you'll share with us. There are sounds in here that maybe only you will hear, and which we need to better hear the world around us.
