2023 – to lie down in still waters of erasure (score follower) by Kari Watson

"to lie down in still waters of erasure" by Kari Watson is a contemporary composition for organ and spatialized electronics, including manipulated and AI voices. This piece, composed in 2023, marks Watson's first formal exploration into music with modular synthesizers, drawing inspiration from Joyelle McSweeney's concept of the necropastoral. The composition explores the intersection of natural and artificial elements, reflecting the necropastoral's tendency to challenge traditional pastoral ideals by introducing elements of decay, transformation, and spectral presence.
