Lauré Lussier – Darkness

Lauré Lussier sets to music Lord Byron’s poem Darkness.

Civilization, this poem suggests, is much more fragile than anyone would like to believe; the vast emptiness of the universe will eventually defeat all human powers. Human greed and selfishness ruins not just the environment, but lives.

Darkness is a long-form recording with elements of classical instrumentations, drone soundscapes and spoken words by Kate Bosworth.

Lauré Lussier is an author, sound artist and orchestral electroacoustic music composer from Quebec, Canada.

Kate Bosworth is a sound artist and radio host from Wiltshire, UK.
