Shell Quintet for Low Reeds and Piano
2022 felt like a tipping point for the climate crisis– marked by record droughts and heat waves across Europe, catastrophic flooding in Pakistan, and a devastating Hurricane Season in both the Pacific and Atlantic. In the US: several bodies have been found in Lake Mead and an entire river cruise boat has been uncovered in the Mississippi River as their respective water levels drop. Minority populations are the most at risk as climate gentrification is pushing several communities out of their neighborhoods as sea levels rise. Combined with unaffordable housing, stagnant and unlivable wages, and insatiable corporate greed– the climate crisis is the aggregate of our contemporary struggles and must be addressed now. The Shell Quintet is broken into two halves, Billowing and Rotting.
