Description
-
mem mer mère transforms eight measures of Debussy’s La Mer into one giant slow-motion wave that begins deep in the ocean’s trenches and rises through the Abyss, the Midnight, the Twilight, and finally the Sunlight as it breaks through the brilliant sun glitter on the water’s surface.
Agricultural and industrial pollution, coupled with global warming, have created more than 600 dead zones—seasonal hypoxic zones that can be responsible for mass mortality of fish, damaging coastal ecosystems. mem mer mère is underscored by a roll call reading of these dead zones—compiled by the research of Dr. Robert Diaz (Professor Emeritus, Virginia Institute of Marine Science) and Dr. Rutger Rosenberg (Professor, Department of Marine Ecology, University of Gothenburg).
Performed by Melissa Grey (live sound processing, data sonification), David Morneau (trombone), Kate Dillingham (cello) and Marc Fiaux (live projection processing)
