String Noise: Only Time Will Tell (2020) by Charles Overton
Only Time Will Tell is an exploration of the overlap and connections that can be found in my various musical experiences, and one that came to mind was the crucial role that time plays in the music we create. In writing music for the present moment, the overall arc of the piece, somewhat unintentionally, grew out of this great uncertainty we feel right now both personally and in our greater communities at large.
This is a video from the LIVE premiere performance on Carnegie Hill Concerts Midday Music Festival 2020.
Elliott Sharp / Janene Higgins: Filiseti Mekidesi (excerpt)
The opera Filiseti Mekidesi by Elliott Sharp is a visceral meditation about the universal search for a safe neutral place. It doesn't tell a linear narrative but uses musical and poetic means (with texts by Tracie Morris, Edwin Torres, and Sharp) to reflect moments and situations in cosmic and human history in particular resonance with current events of great urgency.
