À propos de cet audio
Seven years ago my mum passed away from terminal cancer. She spent the final week of her life in a hospice not far from where we lived. On the day of her departure, she came and sat on my bed and surprised me with a short sermon on the power of love, all the more remarkable considering the heavy dose of morphine she was now taking. This piece of music is a celebration of these words and of the love she gave. It also borrows lines from two of her poems, one that charts her separation from my dad some years before, and another that describes her experience of motherhood. Like the swell of the sea, it fills the traces of the love she gave with the sound of the love I carry within me.
Written, composed and produced by Xander Simmons, mixed by Zachary Scholes and mastered by Guy Hébert.
Starring Gabrielle Audet, accompanied by Xander Simmons on piano and synths.
