TrillestSince87 x Richie Loop- ONE LIFE

This piece will be performed at the Mostly Modern Festival next June by the American Modern Ensemble. This is a Work in Progress Mock Up before the Premiere.

Program Note:
This chamber piece delves into the vibrant musical traditions of Morocco, particularly those of the Amazigh people, the heart and soul of the Atlas Mountains. The earthquake of September 8th, 2023, cast a long shadow, especially in these mountainous regions where many Amazigh people reside. While the loss of life across Morocco was significant, the music itself transcends sorrow.

It explores the transformative power of music in the face of loss, reflecting the Amazigh belief in celebrating life even after a period of mourning. In their culture, grief eventually gives way to music and dance, a beautiful way to honour departed loved ones. This spirit of resilience and celebration infuses the very essence of this piece.

The evocative melodies of the High Atlas, often accompanied by unique percussion wind and stringed instruments, become a testament to the enduring spirit of the Amazigh people.  This work serves as the first movement of a larger suite exploring the rich tapestry of Moroccan music. It's a personal interpretation, where the threads of tradition and contemporary influences are intricately woven together.

While this piece aspires to offer a humble tribute to those lost in the earthquake and celebrate the enduring strength and vibrant cultural heritage of the Amazigh people and Moroccans in general, it ultimately seeks to foster a cross-cultural conversation. This creative interplay, however modest a contribution, seeks to transcend borders, enriching the global artistic landscape and building bridges of understanding across diverse cultures. Ultimately, this composition is a celebration of life, resilience, and the unifying power of music.

Abenaki:
si8hmosis is the Abenaki word for "Little Hawk", the name given to me at birth by my mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. I am the Hawk, my brother is the m8lsem, the Wolf, my cousin the Tolba, the turtle. 

We are of the Abenaki of Odanak. 

Today our reservations are Odanak and W8linak, they are in Canada and have a population between the two of about 700. Throughout New England and into Canada we have about 3,000 band members.

To those who feel the pain of being indigenous and the trauma that's come from colonization, please know you are not alone in this pain. There are many more out there who feel this and wish to find healing for our ancestors and to be the step forward that heals the pain our grandparents inherited and passed down to us. This EP is my step towards that. These are my personal issues and emotions released through music, with honor given to our heritage. In hopes to continue to build my platform so that I can share my stories, my families stories, the Abenaki stories, and to raise awareness about who we are and to shout that we are still here!

Of A Feather

This one was tough. How to portrait transition from something stable and beautiful like sanity to something uncanny and anxious like being out of your own mind, yet having its own peculiar features? 

With this track I don't have any confidence that it will be a good fit for everyone, but I grateful for each listen of yours. Have a nice day!

Lyrics:
This fraction of light
Do you see it tonight
Wild and bright
Let me to start
