Producer Marya has found a complex and worthy subject in this Gulf War II veteran. Her piece gives this haunted young man an opportunity to reflect on and recollect the night that changed his life.
The sharing, revisiting, contextualizing, and recording of his traumatic event offers a healing moment for the subject and the listener, (and, one suspects, the producer herself). Ms. Marya has to a substantial degree removed herself from view but hints at her lingering presence in the form of subtle editing and evocative scoring.
A slow tempoed, understated piece. This would work in a number of formats, could stand alone or complement other works in a set.
