Mourn and Mutter Chorus

Friends and Acquaintances were invited to join other non-singers like myself in an aspen bush near Saskatoon to create a non-traditional chorus of earthy sounds to honour these aspen trees.

Aspens are unique in that all have initially grown from a single grandmother tree who supported the younger trees through an underground network of roots. In the company of the aspens and other non-singers, participants joined in a supportive community in making sounds for the trees. They hummed, muttered, said words, groaned, screamed, laughed or cried.

This particular location evokes histories of personal and environmental grief, survival, and hidden stories both human and non-human.

Here was the invitation for the project Mourn and Mutter:
