Thanks to Martin Leitner for additional recording engineering, Elisabeth Zimmermann for the commission, and Indexical, Santa Cruz, an artist-run space for experimental sound and media art. • A portion of this piece is based on an earlier live remote performance for Indexical, Santa Cruz, in October 2020, a year in which my community weathered pandemic quarantines and emergency evacuation from during the CZU Lightning Complex wildfire in Santa Cruz and San Mateo counties, California. Subsequent years saw drought, flood, regrowth, more devastation from storms, and still more growth here on the ground. Behind my home a meadow is transformed into a gopher barrens each summer, pock-marked and dry like a moonscape as manifested by rodents. I reflected on the recurrent mythical stories of mortal descent into the underworld in search of a lost loved one, of what goes on underground on an everyday basis, and how I would need to transform physically in order to tunnel down and join the potentially vast world of creatures and organisms that live in the dark of the earth. • Revenant is structured in two parts: the first reflecting on a difficult season of quarantine, illness, and loss; the second proposing physical/material transformation in order to journey to the underworld. • 1: Outside • In the increasing heat and haze of summer, the days are long and hot and the nights insomniac. After brief, fitful sleep, the sun is a tarnished penny in the morning when it rises behind an orange haze of smoke and ash from wildfire. Stuck indoors when the air is hot and thick, other creatures find their way inside to take refuge with me: coming in along the plumbing, up the drains, in the vents and down the chimney, through the cracks under the door or the walls. Unexpected insects, worms and a lizard that dry on the floor, various arachnids running up the walls, a small bird, a bat. It seems I must change my approach to cohabitation: when the creatures move into my nest, I trade places and take to the airwaves or escape down into their burrows. • 2: Revenir • The difference between the living and the dead can be hard to discern. That which is dry and buried may not lie still but move, resurface, rehydrate, transform. Could I be a the visitor to this actual underworld? Time underground enables metamorphoses of body and senses. • Funding for Revenant provided by a Rydell Fellowship (Santa Cruz) (2022-2023). • • Donaueschinger Musiktage '24 #domt24 • https://www.swr.de/swrkultur/musik-kl... • Ausführliches Programmbuch der Donaueschinger Musiktage '24 • https://cutt.ly/weSK6xYV • Official Composer Website • https://nicelittlestatic.com/ • • This video has a purpose of promotion, not for profit. • If you have any complaints about copyright issues, please write me a direct message at dhdmlwls03(at)gmail(dot)com before submitting a report to YouTube.
