commissioned and premiered at soundSCAPE, Maccagno, Italy, 2017

when political violence parades around like adult civility,

when aggression is normalized,

            how achingly empty is the sound of something pure?

in a rare moment of beauty, innocence, joy, must its purity be obscured by the echoes of violence?

 

OR

 

can tenderness do violence to violence?
