Holding Our Breath

Winner of the 2020 Genesis Prize from ACDA, this is a piece about facing the fear to breathe, and the courage to be together once more. With text and music knitted together in a soundscape of layers and textures, this is a wonderful response to the year of virtual and distanced music making. Including aleatoric, whispered, and shouted text, breathing, and dissonances, this selection is an outstanding example of modern compositional techniques.
