During two early exhibitions of Requiem, groups of middle school-aged students encountered the piece, accompanied by their instructors. This fulfills my primary hope for the piece, which is to see it engaging people from outside of the art world, and particularly the young. The work presents simple materials and factual information, encouraging listeners to draw their own conclusions. Below are two installation-view photographs of groups of youngsters in the space.

The photograph on the left is from the premier installation in the Fernald AP/PE Space, Orono, Maine. The photo on the right is from the installation hosted by Spaceus at the amazing Roslindale Substation building, Roslindale Village, Boston, Massachusetts.

The following image, taken during the Goethe-Institut Boston installation, April 2021, shows Requiem’s minimal presence in a very live room, whose acoustically bright, reflective surfaces work very effectively to bathe the audio in natural reverb.

The following photograph, from the Moss Arts Center’s 2021 group exhibit entitled Unbearable Beauty, shows the exhibit room dimly lit, which is always my request. In this case the gallery graciously complied. I very much appreciate this gesture which aims to focus the audience’s attention on the sound as much as possible.
