The World Premiere of ‘between Here and Elsewhere’ from The Memory of Water Vol. II written by Camila Agosto performed by Martine Kinsella Thomas (viola) and Thea Mesirow (cello).
From the composer:
The Memory of Water is an ongoing collaborative project that explores the relationship between the natural erosion of human memory and broader ecological concerns through the journey of a life that begins in water and returns to water. This project integrates live composition, improvisation, custom instrument design, poetry, and electronics. Within Volume I, I delve into questions of what is remembered and forgotten, and the impact of change when dealing with loss and grief, through a collection of texts written by Martine Kinsella Thomas, a violist and poet. These texts explore life cycles that start from the ocean and return to the ocean, weaving ecological concern and personal narratives. Volume II continues this exploration through a new collaboration with Martine Thomas and cellist Thea Mesirow. In this volume, we navigate a new environment marked by the murmurs of souls, examining the vulnerability involved in surrendering one’s memory to the distortions of time.
