Blind, Blind, Blind

about

Description
The composition comprises every reference to the word ‘blind’ in the Bible, arranged in the same order as they occur in the text. Scourby’s pronunciation of the words varies in pitch, speed, and dynamic; this is a feature that can only be fully appreciated when the instances are heard in insolation from their original context and in sequence. Some sections of that sequence exhibit a pronounced, if inadvertent, musicality.
