Storage Container 39 – Soft sounds to Comfort the Heart and Bring Water to Dryness

A sonic curation made up of sounds from Los Angeles family and beyond bringing space to grieve and mourn, ground and reach to one another in times where the cycle of loss and re-growth feel hard to comprehend. Throughout this episode, songs from the Leaving Records compilation Staying – Leaving Records Aid to Artists are featured, reminding us of the invaluable power of artists taking care of one another. How do we honor places that are no longer as they were through sound, memory, and community activation? May this episode bring space to remember, gather, and care for one another.

The artwork for this episode shows a special tree whose roots are located at Earnest Debs Park in Los Angeles (Tongva land). We mourn the pepper trees that are no longer here, the loved ones, the structures, the tokens of those we love, the dis-ease our climate is experiencing and the animals who are trying to find new safe places. With love and with memory, with sound and with connection may this episode soften and soothe, moisten and calm.
