"Persistence of Memory", Joan La Barbara (2012)


Persistence of Memory Live in MaerzMusik Berliner Festspiele from Aleksandar Kostic on Vimeo.

"My composition juxtaposed sounds of cataclysmic events, remembered, captured, re-created by instruments, voice and samplers: car crashes, avalanches, severe weather, the crack in the space-time continuum."
Questionnaire: Joan La Barbara, Frieze (March 2016)

storms


On storm-struck deck, wind sirens caterwaul;
With each tilt, shock and shudder, our blunt ship
Cleaves forward into fury; dark as anger,
Waves wallop, assaulting the stubborn hull.
Flayed by spray, we take the challenge up,
Grip the rail, squint ahead, and wonder how much longer

Such force can last;
from Channel Crossing, Sylvia Plath
