Subsidence is the gradual sinking or downward settling of the Earth’s surface. This work is a sonic exploration of the Earth’s tectonics, particularly in the Pacific Northwest at the Cascadia subduction zone. This process contributes to a unique environment and is responsible for the creation of many of the Pacific’s iconic volcanoes including, St. Helens, Mt. Hood and Rainier.

Soundcheck: Gardens of Golden Park honors the practice of conservation, preservation, and innovation for future generations. This work is designed to guide listeners through the Redwood Grove at the historic San Francisco Botanical Gardens. These ancient relics offer a unique space of reflection and being. This is a site-specific immersive concert composed by Kennedy Verrett for 4 musicians. A strolling audience will be enveloped with timeless deep listening sensations. A unique sonic event within Golden Gate Park, coupled with the visceral and rich culture of the cityscape–a bassoon player at the foot of a giant sequoia, a bass flute blessing the ferns, a bass setting the roots, while a piano soothes the soul.  This work is commissioned for Flower Piano 2024 by Sunset Piano.
