Description by François Bonnet

Leaving is a generative four-loudspeaker composition created for Skaņu Mežs by Marina Rosenfeld and Ben Vida, who perform as a duo and have recorded two albums in recent years, Feel Anything and Vertice. Drawing from both records as well as a remote performance that was filtered through the empty volume of New York’s Fridman Gallery during the hot summer of the city’s Covid-19 quarantine, Leaving is the artists’ meditation on the absence and presence, fragmentation and drift of our present reality — “a strange dialogue, dreaming of each other through communication of another order.

Recorded in 2020
All music: Bird Show (ASCAP) and Filiform Music (ASCAP)
