(sea)nce by dominika ksel
(sea)nce is a concept album recorded over two years of the pandemic in Rockaway Beach and Jamaica Bay NYC. This album acts as a meditation on our relationships with the perils of climate change, the spirits of plastics & pollution, and what we mean when using the word community. It asks us how we can embrace sentient and non-sentient life and regard that which we discard as an equally valued and consider extension of our larger communities both spiritually and physically. Thank you for your support and deep listening.
This album was made possible with generous support from Open Source Gallery and the National Endowment for the Arts.
