Dear Mother Father God is a 6-channel piece which reframes Miriam Nash's poem "Dear Mother Father God", from the collection All the Prayers in the House, available from Bloodaxe Books.
I wanted to give the poem a sonic life, and create new meaning from the words and form, while preserving the order of the text. The voices are those of Deepmala Tiwari, Asher Sizemore, Lihuen Sirvent, and me. The piece was premiered in 2018, and presented at the 2022 Espacios Sonoros festival.
