The Cries and Crisis Cantata

https://youtu.be/K49H6eBKuAs video / audio

This is the result of years of working with supercollider, the
despair and aporia of war, the violence of everyday life, this
war cantata, this, which coalesced as such. Please listen
through.

"Da brennt ihre Fahne mitten im Feind, und sie jagen ihr nach."
"Their flag is aflame in the enemy's midst, and they gallop
after."

- from Rilke's Cornet, trans. Norton.

"Wer, wenn ich schriee, hoerte mich denn aus der Engel
Ordnungen?"
"Who, if I cried, would hear me among the angelic orders?"

- from Rilke's Duino, trans. Leishman and Spender.
