about

Primordial Covenant is an introspective, deep-listening, and contemplative piece dedicated to peace and justice. It reflects a primordial conversation with what brought us into creation. It is a conversation with the Universe to help you find your purpose. This art song draws upon the Hindustani art style of Khayal, western chromaticism, and Middle-Eastern mode: Hijaz and is described by listeners as peaceful, trancing, and emotionally visceral. With a recent premiere at Arts Commons as part of the TD Amplify Cabaret and United Central Church for the Sled Island Festival, this piece will be your mentor as it continues to be mine
