Drawing on Japanese folk song and Die Winterreise, composer Juliet Palmer and writer Anna Chatterton have crafted a set of songs exploring the tension between inner reflection and outer journeying. Aki Takahashi, Juliet Palmer, and Christine Duncan bridge multiple worlds, singing and playing shamisen, theremin, clarinet and percussion, weaving together shouts, chants and cries with throat singing, opera and gospel. Although worlds apart, this new song cycle finds fresh ground in two powerful yet disparate traditions.
