Season Two: Variation No. 10 by Indigo Knecht

Composer Indigo Knecht returns to the Patchwork Suite with a personal, fixed media impression of love as a grounding force in the face of depression; they liken the piece to Toledo’s Love Wall, where splashes of color bring life to a monochromatic framework.

Season Two: Variation No. 9 by Chawin Temsittichok

With inspiration from poetry and from artwork by the muralist Jayoto, Thai composer Chawin Temsittichok crafts a musical streetscape collage of Bangkok, through which hear Madame Sidney Pratten’s lament emerge from a collection of found sounds.
