Our Sound Universe— the Music of Susan Alexjander

Thank you for visiting.

This site is to introduce you to my work as a composer and researcher.

Nature is alive with macro/micro harmony. Rhythms of breath and heart, DNA, stars, water, and Earth invite us into this dance of frequency.

OCEAN, a work for strings, percussion, voice, flute and sound design, commissioned for fall of 2010 by the Santa Cruz Chamber Orchestra, Maya Barsacq director.

Ocean will include two introductory speakers presenting the ocean from different perspectives: Western science and an indigenous, mythic and poetic perspective. An accompanying sound track will be barely heard, but will support the music with frequencies that reflect the voices of the ocean in very subtle ways that the body and psyche recognize.

Ocean will be designed to tour in aquariums, schools, and intimate spaces. Through information, story and music we will experience our watery home in a new, intimate way and be moved to take care of her at this time of planetary crisis.
