Based on Jena Osman's book Motion Studies, a poem about data collection and privacy, Shallow Breath and Stealth is a sound world like no other piece we've sung - a timely, necessary work of art. An invitation to perspective. A warning.
And a great companion piece to Nicholas Cline's watersheds (with dream casting: Matthew Levy on tenor saxophone!), addressing another contemporary societal issue: water. Abundance. Absence. Myths.
Water.
How we depend on it, how we share it, how we don't. This is a complex topic presented in simple musical vignettes, as personal as it gets.
We love commissioning. We love bringing new works into the world. We love recording them. We love everyone who listens.
And we really love those who help make it all possible through their gifts:
Carol Westfall for supporting this and all our recordings.
Our singers. This is a big lift. We lifted!
The Bienen School of Music at Northwestern University for commissioning Nick's watersheds.
Our composers, Justine and Nick.
Our own (Philadelphia) poet, Jena Osman.
Amze Emmons for our album art.
You. For listening.
