The piece centers on the repetitive nature of daily life, and even when the world is fragmented, seemingly destroyed, there is hope that it can be repaired, and restored. Based on “The Sow took the Measles” a folk song from colonial New England. The original verse tells of Yankee practical idealism, of making good out of a bad situation.

Featuring field recordings, synthesized instruments, and digital signal manipulation.

This is part one and an interlude of an album of the same name. Please visit my bandcamp page to purchase the entire album.
