about the piece I really dislike the entire concept of gossip. I've been on both ends of dialogue, neither of which helps my mental health in any regards. The same is true for many people I know. The use of bringing others down is seen as a way of lifting oneself up, even if its just temporarily. However, I don't believe this social norm is any way beneficial to our society and continues to divide us. Gossip, whispers, and other drama is a theatrical work which takes many of these aspects and puts them in a grotesque, awful light.

recording coming soon!
