How to fully express the deep grief in watching the slow motion buildup of aggression, the growing carnage, the racism that seems to emerge even within crises that should unite? Sometimes peace feels like further away than ever. Yet we persist.
New album: Martez "Shadow Work"
The second in a series of works initiated in the beginning of the pandemic to sonify the overwhelming feeling of loss. Let the grief wash over you.
New Music: Martez - Lamentos
A new album very unlike any of my others- minimalist instrumental sonification of various moods, feelings and moments of the first eighteen months of the pandemic reality. Recorded in Oakland, CA.
New Music: "Lamentos"
Hey world. I hope you are safe and sound and protecting yourself and your loved ones.
I’ve been working in a new lane of data sonification (turning datasets and numbers into sound).
This is related to that, but turning feelings into sound. It’s a series called Lamentos - quick improvisations, and snapshots of how I’m feeling and what vibes I’m absorbing on any particular day as we get deeper into this global crisis.
It is called Lamentos. A lamento (lament in English) is an expression of grief.
