RIVERBERATIONS

The following works are all mixed media sound sculptures using old books with the same name as the titles listed below. These sculptures were played in a performance on the shore of a constructed wetland next to the Río Grande, Albuquerque, New Mexico, with eight percussionists, plus me and the composer, Dr. Christopher Shultis, who wrote the score.

note: 12 works are available (Blue Nile and White Nile in the 6th image below are separate works)
