Russian Music 2.1 Composition

Don’t Whistle, Masha!

““Don’t Whistle, Masha!” line comes from “The Three Sisters” by Anton Chekov together other texts for my performance composition (not sure if that’s the right word to define my piece). Three wildly exalted zombie-sisters are echoed by a whole orchestra of electric mechanical objects with musicians as mechanisms, electronic music, and visual art.”
