Geranium

Ringtone composed for donors to Le Vivier InterUniversitaire (2024) (1’)

“And through the spaces of the dark
Midnight shakes the memory
As a madman shakes a dead geranium.”
— T.S. Eliot, “Rhapsody on a Windy Night”

Geranium is a ringtone which uses material derived from my previous work for harp, Whispering lunar incantations and, due to the nature of its short loop, confronts questions of memory. Both pieces were inspired by Eliot’s “Rhapsody on a Windy Night.”

Geranium was recorded by harpist Kalen Smith. If interested in purchasing the ringtone for $2 USD, please contact the composer.
