Bunker Music
Bunker Music is suite of songs that envision the ordeal of people confined to a fallout shelter during and after a nuclear war, and imagines their fear, helplessness, mourning and dreams. The suite is comprised of songs that use drones, looping, noise and sound design to evoke the emotional terrain of the bunker. An ongoing project, the first five songs in the suite are entitled Closing out the light, First night, Lassitude, Minute Man and Water Dream.
Bunker Music made its public debut in November, 2018 as the score for Kei Ito’s project Luminescent Shadows at the InLight Richmond festival presented by 1708 Gallery at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts
