about

Of the ancient Greek poet and musician Sappho's lyrics, only one complete poem survives- the rest are fragments. For this project I have taken these fragments and created a collection of short, fragmented songs, sound poems, and electroacoustic compositions. Voices, stones, washing machines, traffic, Roland 100M, and de-tuned pianos feature in this musical interpretation of Sappho's work.
