traces of grief and hope by Daniel Brandes published on 2018-12-23T22:29:30Z I made "traces of grief and hope" for the "gentle traces festival" that Laura Brandes and i presented this past March to celebrate 50 A Place to Listen concerts. This piece isn't really a piece of music, but more like a way of reading (with voices and instruments) the poetry of Anita Barrows. I am very grateful to Antia's wild generosity in allowing me to use her poetry. I am also very grateful to Antoine Beuger, Kristy Farkas, and Laura Brandes for their caring and daring musicianship. I recommend listening through headphones. The recording begins with a beautiful reflection that Anita wrote and recorded for the concert. I included it here because the performance came so beautifully out of Anita's reflection. Genre Experimental music/poetry
