This episode of the Relache Chronicles consists of thirteen preludes from The Walkings. A full recorded performance of all twenty-four preludes is available HERE. The Walkings represent a tribute to the artistic legacy of Bill Duckworth and his wife, media artist, Nora Farrel. The Walkings is somewhat of a departure from the format of earlier episodes, but still true to the intent of The Relache Chronicles. It honors the music and related projects created and performed by members of Relache’s extended family.
Created, written and performed by Arthur Sabatini, The Walkings are literary and poetic musings and commentaries set to music of William Duckworth’s “The Time Curve Preludes,” played by pianist Neely Bruce from a recording on the Lovely Music label. Episode Twelve of The Relache Chronicles features William Duckworth’s music plus commentary from the Relache Chronicles Team, who were all friends of Bill’s.
Arthur discusses his personal and professional association with Bill and Nora as he charts a mythical path through time. As “The Chronicler,” the name he adopted as a member of The Cathedral Band. Cathedral, the iPod Opera and iOrpheus were creations of Bill and Nora in collaboration with a group of other artists.
