About the program:

– Distance, Touch, Void –

“The performance is an introverted look at bleak emotions. Each piece seems to grapple with a sense of losing time, losing place, losing human connection, or losing self. Each seems to be some kind of private ceremony or prayer, an appeal to a humanistic, or sometimes nihilistic, spirituality. Together the pieces are an outward expression of feelings left mostly internalized during the isolation of the pandemic. The music is intensely intimate, but also impersonal, dissociated. It searches for meaning and longs for warmth, touch, and connection.” – Daniel T. Lewis

– Digital Disquiet –

“Sebastian Zel’s Fever Dream is an expression of personal experience with insomnia and the liminal space between consciousness and dreaming. Musically, it is an icy and winding journey that strikes a delicate balance between harmonic resolution and dissonance. The ambiguous haze the listener is left in establishes a fitting backdrop for the chilling opening of Stephen Montague’s Tongues of Fire, which builds from a low rumble to a picture of destruction of cosmic proportions. The work was inspired by Spanish Civil War poet Miguel Hernandez’s poem Mouth of Anger, thereby reflecting a gruesome reality that transcends internal turmoil.” – Isabella Andries
