melancholy objects : for string quartet / Rishin Singh.
Library shelf no. 785.714/SIN 1 [Available for loan]
Work Overview
melancholy objects is a reflection on extinction. It is a musical balancing act between Susan Sontag's writing on photography and the composer's own study of the photography of extinct animals. This 20-minute long work in 5 movements encapsulates the surrealism and the tragedy of humankind's drive to simultaneously document and destroy the other species with whom we cohabit the planet.
