dear treasured listeners,
i do hope you are well during these times. thank you for stumbling upon my curious nook within this curious online playground. last year, some good friends of mine said that my music was like a sandpit that i invite others to play and get a little messy in. in 1997, björk told arvo pärt that she likes how in his music he gives space to the listener so that they can go inside and live there. i hope that EXQUISITECHORUS is a space that you can go live inside for a little, spending a moment playing in my sandpit music. to create EXQUISITECHORUS I have collated, sorted, categorised, selected, played, sculpted, deconstructed, reconstructed, organised and arranged a plethora of found material that I have been in the habit of capturing and collecting for the past ten years on various mobile phones. you will find this material waiting for your ears, sprinkled across the three acts that form this bricolage web opera of sorts.
warm wishes,elizabeth
