STATEMENT OF SOLIDARITY FROM THE FACULTY OF THE UC BERKELEY DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC and CNMAT

We write to share in the grief and anger that has moved protesters around the country and the world to protest against the Black racism and violence that is pervasive in our society. Together, we mourn the life of George Floyd, and the lives of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, Tony Robinson, Eric Garner, Sandra Bland, Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Philando Castile, and so many others whose lives were wrongfully cut short. We demand justice. Black Lives Matter.

Voicescapes

From Tom Buckner:

Dear Friends,

It is my great pleasure to announce the release today on Chant Records of a new recording of duo improvisations, Voicescapes, by the wonderful Danish singer Randi Pontoppidan and myself. Recorded on the beautiful island of Møn, Denmark in 2018 with no preconceived musical material, no overdubs and no sound sources other than voices, Voicescapes documents the spontaneous music of two kindred souls.

Sincerely, Tom

RANDI PONTOPPIDAN & THOMAS BUCKNER
