This account of the life of flautist Sarah Green who died of complications from ALS is sunningly beautiful in its presentation of Sarah's own voice, or actually her computer generated voice, a voice which coupled with her earlier flute recordings, family accounts, and frank expressions make a beautiful piece of raio that never plays its hand too soon. It shows that the beauty of one person's thoughts and feelings can shine though the technology that became, for a time, her only way of communicating.
By the end of the 13 plus minutes, you nearly forget that you're istening to a machine. Sarah Green's voice is one that will not easily be forgotten.
Outront is a series worth airing on Sunday Afternoons. After hearing this piece and others, listeners will want more.
