Music

From tidal patterns and ancient ocean voyages, to errand-running and GPS devices, navigation past and present propels this song cycle by Portland-based musician and composer Holcombe Waller^[1]. Backed by a chamber ensemble, Waller performs these lushly orchestrated musings on physical and spiritual wayfinding—combined with improvised shifts in light, sound, and video—resulting in a mesmerizing meditation on the historical importance of finding, and maintaining, one’s bearings.
