The Project
The prompt this year is the following collage by Claire in tandem with her lyric from the Capers song “We Are”
"We are seconds in a silent hour"
Midori, a bassoonist, sound artist, and social worker based in Illinois, will work with Torfeh, an Iranian puppet maker, costume designer, and installation artist, creating a short stop motion film that explores parenthood, birth, interconnectedness, and sacrifice.
Alan, a classical pianist based in Paris, will work with his daughter Daphne, an American bi-coastal singer/songwriter, to engage with a series of Chopin preludes, reinterpreting and responding to create their own musical work.
Tyler, a composer, and Connor, a producer and multi-instrumentalist, both based in Los Angeles, will compose and record an album of solo acoustic bass music that combines improvisation, composed themes, and extended upright bass techniques.
