Spring Reflections

1. stir, awaken

Beginning - from the stillpoint of the inside of an egg; from the shelter of a nest; from the humility and potency of smallness.

2. details from hatch, open

Emerging - the moment of ultimate vulnerability: newness meets the streetwise world.

3. detail from grow

Growth - an insistent and striving appendage in the life-cycle beast.

4. detail from arise, shine forth

Youthful maturation - the danger and exhilaration of that first test of wings.

5. detail from increase, multiply

Life's persistence - cycles repeat, interweave into centripetal patterns of food chains and time.

The Long Tone Choir performed spring at the Center for New Music in San Francisco on April 15th, 2018. This was the third installment in a 5-part series of performance installations that explore the seasons through sound, image, object, duration, movement in space, and language.

autumn will be performed at the Center for New Music on Sunday, November 11th, 2018, as part of the Hush series, which explores sound as meditation.
