Third Coast Percussion performs "Death Wish" by Gemma Peacocke.
ABOUT THE COMPOSER:
Gemma Peacocke is a composer from New Zealand who currently resides in Brooklyn, New York. Gemma’s music works in both acoustic and electronic sound worlds, and she is interested in how music can amplify the voices of under-heard groups of people. She is a co-founder of Kinds of Kings, a collective of US-based composers focused on producing immersive and inclusive work.
ABOUT THE PIECE:
Peacocke writes:
“I wrote Death Wish after watching a short film featuring New Zealand survivors of sexual assault. One of the survivors, Hinewirangi Kohu-Morgan, spoke about the out-of-control spiraling of her life for many years and how she developed what she called a ‘death wish.’ In the piece I thought about the spooling and unspooling of energy and how we are all bound and driven by forces both within and beyond ourselves.
“With the greatest of respect for Hinewirangi Kohu-Morgan who has used her life to create art and music and to help survivors of abuse and those who have perpetrated abuse.
“I ōrea te tuātara ka patu ki waho. Aroha nui.”
