Performed by The New Tango Project: Laila Salins, vocalist; Bill Schimmel, accordion; Machiko Ozawa and Marc Levine, violins; Leo Grinhauz, cello.
A funeral in NY's Hell's Kitchen: "...the musicians no longer play on strings - they play on windows, ledges, floorboards, bowls - play on dripping candlesticks, shins and breasts, play on naked souls. At dawn bones put on some flesh to wear - souls shivered through the shoots of their hair." Performed at The Cell, in New York City, on Dec. 4, 2009, as part of "Accord-Discord", produced by Center for Contemporary Opera. Video by Garlia Jones, edited by Steve Simring
Love this song!
Too bad Ms. Ozawa is almost never in the frame. That's just too bad....
