Shared Isolation: the music of nature in the midst of covid-19

With urban ambient sound quieted across the nation by COVID-19, the music of nature has emerged. Together in our social distancing, we can hear the music of birds again. Our project aims to institute a global dialogue between humankind and nature through music, re-examining our relationship with nature through the creation and performance of a new musical composition. Composed by Gavin Fraser, and performed by mezzo contralto, Nicole Percifield and pianist, Geoffrey Conquer, Shared Isolation finds inspiration in collected birdsong.
