#3144: Requiem for Fossil Fuels Live

New Sounds | Mar 19, 2012

“Requiem for Fossil Fuels,” a site-specific memorial mass, combines human voices and ambient sound. It’s the result of more than twenty years of work and collaboration by Bruce Odland and Sam Auinger, two sound artists/composers and sonic thinkers. For this edition of New Sounds, listen to the performance, recorded live at the World Financial Center last month.
