about

Aftermath Requiem and Sounds for Sleeping was created in conjunction with my solo exhibition, awaken my love, and played as a soundscape throughout the gallery.

the track is an auditory exploration of the liminality of death and the possible journey we take hereafter. composed of ambient guitar, piano/ piano harp, field recordings from a roadside cemetery, and a vocal rendition of the popular folk song Companions Draw Nigh (also known as Dying from Home and Lost).

lyrics

companions draw nigh
they say i must die
early the summons has come from on high
the way is so dark and yet i must go
oh that such sorrow you never may know

only a prayer
only a tear
oh if sister and mother were here
only a song to comfort and cheer
only a word from that book so dear
