We Love Our Parents, We Fear Snakes 48:36

about

'We Love Our Parents, We Fear Snakes' originated as a sound and movement performance by Marbles Jumbo Radio and Yann Novak inside Johanna Breiding installation of the same name. The installation was created as an intimate gathering space â€” foyer/drawing room/death room/living room â€” for queer-identified performers to explore traditionally familial spaces and experiences of mourning. Breiding invited Marbles and Novak to collaborate on the project and culminating performance because of their mutual experience of loosing their mothers. The project was part of Womenâ€™s Center for Creative Workâ€™s Parlor at the Armory residency program.

'We Love Our Parents, We Fear Snakes' is a free download of Novakâ€™s sound performance released on the 10 year anniversary of his mothers passing and is dedicated to Eva Shao-Huai Blum, Andrea Breiding, Ingrid Ann Buslee and Donna Lynn Cameron.

Here

From macroscopic exhaling layers of frequencies to subatomic micro-events of muffled textures, Here is a music coming out from nowhere and spreading everywhere. Unsourcable drones entail an omnidirectional body response, leaving no other choice to the mind but to float in endless curls of decaying melodies, ultimately seeking redemption into a hazy heaven for forgotten sounds. There is no intent to take you to a particular place or moment, as these shaded sine curves live in the here and now. Dotflac
