about

Two-minute medley from 64 musical miniatures for hiking opera singers & water percussionists.

Kidnapping Water: Bottled Operas travels through warnings, prayers, fantasies & whispers. Breath senses water disappear. Ears caress aural mirages where the abundant waterways of the present hide a future of burning salt.

23 of 64 Bottled Operas are included on the CD.
