Long Distance Dedication (Now On With the Countdown)

Long Distance Dedication (Now On With the Countdown)
by Nancy Nowacek and Carlos Alomar

This 2-channel sound sculpture expresses the uncertainty, grief, and tumult of our present moment through appropriated background vocals from 1970s pop songs, written during a similar time of political, social and environmental upheaval. A Greek Chorus for the earth herself, it serves as a collective voice for the more-than-human world who bears witness to the rapidly escalating effects of climate change and the political agendas determined to disavow it.
