about

This piece was created to accompany Lina Austin in the 'walking on spools' portion of her performance, "Ordinary Devotions." As she creeps along, she sings the words posted here as lyrics. The original, extended mix of this song can be found on Juniana's EP "Sounds And Music For Doing Nothing"

lyrics

I don’t know
why I am here with you
what the heck
is this thing I am doing?
how will you feel when I am gone?

when I have left this stage
when I have left this dance

is this really a stage?
is this really a dance?

that is what my mother would ask

and another thing she’d say
in her last days
is

I’m just being ornery because that is what I do

and by the way
that’s her over there

that’s my mom
in that metal container

she would get such a kick
she would get such a kick knowing she was here

Juniana Portland, Oregon

Juniana uses Sound to build or open up a door to a space- a place where you can get lost without risk.
