LITANIES by Keeners / Chris Kallmyer
Litanies is a series of long-form drones and contemplative reels for strings and organ. They were composed and recorded in an open barn along with the sounds of the wind, birds, and the surrounding landscape. These pieces emerge from an ongoing dialogue with designer Rafi Ajl, whose approach to ritual, rhythm, and repetition helped shape the sonic architecture of the work.
