​note | This work is part of a long line engaging heavily with ritual and space-building. Those considerations are entirely for the performers and facilitators however. The integration of ritual in contemporary music spaces has generally been a colonizing act-- reclamation requires boundaries. Community is hard to come by and creating that space here is still a radical act; as is any that works to expand the potentiality of listening and abstraction of physical phenomena. I'm still looking to make new myths around lost ancestors & languages, just in more private ways lately.
