about
A first single from Juliet and Ayelet's upcoming release "4 Rooms" created with Orchard of Pomegranates vocalists in collaboration with Urban Vessel between 2021 - 2024.
This piece was originally written by Ayelet as a guided meditation for the "4 Rooms" participants. A version of this meditation will be published in 2024 in the book "A Year of Deep Listening" www.deeplistening.rpi.edu/ayodl/
Juliet took this raw text, edited it and composed a fabulous piece for voice and water, performed here.
The full album "4 Rooms" will be released in the fall of 2024. Stay tuned!
lyrics
You are a fish transformed
You are 60% water: a fish transformed
Your brain your heart are 73% water: a fish transformed
Your lungs 83% water: a fish transformed
Can you hear? Listen. Can you hear the water rushing through your body?
Your skin: 64% water. Your muscles, your kidneys: 79% water.
Your bones: 31% water. Can you taste this water?
This water is tears. This water is sweat. This water is blood.
This water is saliva.
Can you taste this water? This water is survival.
You are a fish transformed.
This water moistens openings.
Can you feel the water? Can you feel the water
Releasing toxins from your body? Can you feel the water? Can you feel the water? You are a fish transformed. You are a fish transformed.
your body folds and flows melts and moves with water
Can you feel it?
This water absorbs. This water absorbs shock. This water absorbs shock to your brain and to your spine. Can you feel the water carrying breath to every single cell in your body? A fish transformed. your brain. your lungs. your skin. can you feel the water?
your muscles. your kidneys. your bones. can you feel the water?
a fish transformed. transformed. transformed. a fish transformed.
