BRIEF DESCRIPTION:
When I created "O Holy Night (A Message for Mom and Dad)" it was during the time when I had just moved into my own studio apartment. Like every caring mother and father, my parents were constantly worried about their youngest daughter being alone in the city. The caring became-what seemed to me-a lack of faith, that gradually became ridiculous. My parents would call non-stop about 5 to 6 times a day. In this sound piece, I balance this sense of smothering and suffocation with another message. A message of hope, and having hope in someone that they can put their trust in and finally have peace and rest because of. I believe that there is no reason to fear.
