program note
“Through the Dust” was created as an echo of my own work on the music for The Fig and the Wasp, a theatrical work by Samantha Behr that explores the destruction of isolation and the power of caring and connection against the backdrop of a world on fire. “Through the Dust” was commissioned by viralnet-v4.net as part of it’s “Release” project, in which the participating artists responded to the word “Release” as a play on the word for “dropping” a new recording, juxtaposed with the aspiration that we can be released from the restrictions of our current crises into a post-future consisting of meaningful networked relationships, ecological sustainability, and mutual socio-economic justice.
