This the last tune from Relentless Approach of Better Times. On screen is a quote from Thich Naht Hahn about not letting fears about the state of the world fill your heart, or you won't be in a position to help. This is followed by information about how trauma and anxiety affects us biologically, physically and socially. Anger, fear and suspicion are symptoms of a body that hasn't yet felt safe enough to complete the somatic cycle (experience and then integration of the experience) that allows us to move on from trauma. The current divisions across the world are expressions of unresolved trauma. I argue that by becoming trauma-aware, and seeing hate as pain and fear of vulnerability, we can reach Better Times.

The Iridescent Isle

A recording of 2 performers playing a game-based score on the mechanical Organ in Theatr Soar. Notes are held down using different coloured sticks, each stick having its own rules that dictate how they move across the keys, and when the piece ends. Each play of the game is different, and can be played by up to 5 people.

Here is the link to a video of the piece: https://youtu.be/fi7X4vD2_iM
