eco-wallet (no plastic wrap) with hand-collaged dried flowers and wax details
each physical object is hand-made and unique. because it uses natural elements, it will change and fall apart over time—do not worry, that is the nature of things.
inside each wallet is a small packet of seeds that are native to your area—scatter them.
If you have an allergy/sensitivity to beeswax or flowers, please inform me.
Some delays in shipping might occur as each CD contains elements that take time to prepare; generally ships in one week.

about
for piccolo, electronics, balloons, and hardware
The limitations, the potential, the significance of the lungs and the air that we breathe are made palpable (by way of a convenient visual and sonic aid). A body must know its own limits, or else it's destined to vitiate in space.
Bethany Younge’s acoustic and electronic music explores the manifold kinesthetic properties of musical performance. For her, the act of music-making cannot be divorced from the physical presence of the human instigator. Her works often incorporate instrumental deconstruction, exaggerated movement, motion tracking, sounding costumes, and/or other aesthetic devices to sonically heighten corporeal expressivity.
Her works have been featured in the International Summer Course for New Music Darmstadt, MATA Festival, Resonant Bodies Festival, Gaudeamus Muziekweek, The 16th International Young Composers Meeting, and many other festivals. She has been awarded the Stipend Prize at the International Summer Course for New Music Darmstadt in 2016, the 2020 Kanter/Mivos Prize, the 2022-23 Barcelona Festival Mixtur Commission Award, and nominated for the 2022 Gaudeamus prize.

I loved reading through the complications and spectacular efforts that went into creating these pieces, but even more the works in themselves are masterful structures full of meaning and compelling invention. One of those rare records that leaves you able to imagine vast fields of unexplored musical territory, and assures you that the explorer sent out to them is sure to exceed what you can imagine Giles
