ABOUT THIS CD

Motion Ensemble releases its self produced CD Mnemosyne: Works by Veronika Krausas, a collection of music scored for unusual combinations of soprano, violin, contrabass, clarinet, horn and percussion.

Several works contain sung, spoken or whispered text by Giller Prize nominated author André Alexis, whose books are published worldwide in many languages.

The CD booklet is elegantly filled with photographs by Thaddeus Holownia from the multi media performance piece Mnemosyne; an evocative work about time, death and memory.

"Mnemosyne is, quite simply, a fantastic work of art" ~ Ray Cronin, Border Crossings magazine Issue 75, 2000
