GELSEY BELL: SICKBED

Presented with music collective thingNY, Sickbed is a musical story by Gelsey Bell that investigates the long evolutionary history of life on Earth, tracing an epic story of origins, mass extinctions, and renewal from the sickbed of a flare-up. Events such as the creation of the moon, the emergence of life, the journey of plants and then animals onto terra firma, and previous mass extinction events are layered onto a meditation for and of human engagement with chronic pain - all wrapped in the lush timbres of cello, Celtic harp, synthesizers, pump organ, accordion, bells, and percussion.

These workshop presentations will include excerpts from the epic seven episode piece performed by Gelsey Bell with Sonya Belaya, Andrew Livingston, Dave Ruder, and Jess Tsang, and directed by Anne DeMelo.
