Listen "Echoes of memory and silence"

Episode Synopsis

"The children of Gaza encounter violence, displacement and deprivation every single day of their lives. Sifting through rubble and debris and fallen bodies, while dodging bombs and bullets and witnessing loved ones murdered right before their eyes, has caused enormous emotional distress and relentless mental anguish. These are innocents with no access to food, medicine and clean water. All hope of a future without war has been taken from them.

"Trying to imagine their unfathomable suffering was the impetus behind my composition “echoes of memory and silence.” Through electronic / ambient sound art, I have explored the silence and fragmentation of time that defines their desperate existence."

Mount of Olives recording by Anders Vinjar, reimagined by Jeff Dungfelder.
