Product details
"The Moon that broke on the fence post will not hold,
Desire will not hold, memory will not hold"
The Art of Disappearing is a song cycle meditating on
the nature of grief. Slowly transforming from stasis - where is
everything is arresting and alien - grief doesn't leave. It
becomes an important and empathetic part of us, as we learn to
move again.
The fifth portrait album from Sydney composer, Cameron Lam,
weaves together the timbre and expressive depth of mezzo soprano
Jenny Duck-Chong (Halcyon) and the vibrant connection of the
Geist String Quartet to paint a delicate response to the rhythmic
and intensely musical poetry of Sarah Holland-Batt's first book,
Aria.
