Where Trees Stand in Shallow Water
About the Work
Tkaronto (Iroquoi for “the gathering place”, or “where trees stand in shallow water") also known as Toronto, inhabits the traditional territory of many nations, including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples. While the three composers’ ancestral ties are from China, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Lebanon, Ireland, and France, they currently live in Toronto where the pursuit of art and creativity unites them. Trees are at the sonic hard of this piece, with musical elements generated from the variety of trees and their color found near their homes.
