"Marsey has achieved something close to pathos in this short and highly unusual piece." -- William Hedley, Music Web International

A recital project with Fleur Barron, Francesca Chiejina, and Natalie Burch, to released 20 October 2023 with Delphian Records. This song-recital recording project that "explores the changes and challenges we face presently, but one that also offers hope, levity an even a degree of irreverence".  My contribution sets words found in the 2014 immigration bill -- more info about that song via the link below.
