10 meditations in an emergency (Ethan Philbrick)
10 meditations in an emergency is a piece of music for cello, voice, and recorded sound that doubles as a series of meditation exercises for living through modernity's ongoing emergencies. Beginning with a series of textual shards from Frank OHaras 1957 book Meditations in an Emergency (in times of crisis we must all decide again and again whom we love, everything is turbulent and green, the open flesh of the world, I could never be a boy, once you are helpless you are free), the piece submerges OHaras text in morphing sonic environments in attempt to pay attention to what OHaras ghost might have to offer us in the present.
