about

HO LE is a set of compositions for guitars, voice, alto recorder, piano, and field recordings composed and performed by Adam Zahller. These pieces murmur a musical tribute to the uncanny realities of being placed. Placed in this world, alone and together, listening and not listening to our streets and skies, our families and neighborhoods, our insides and outsides. Placed in this world because—?

The music is a kaleidoscopic framework of the formal and informal objects, sounds, sites, and voices. I’m listening backwards (maybe) now or I heard this already. Whole and hole, God and dog, worldly and HO LE. As Zahller writes in his book “we don’t know why but eyes cut poles, ears dig holes, and the warm zero sky whorls.” A stellar solo performance effortlessly sounding the beautiful and (un)familiar.
