🎶 URAUFFÜHRUNG: GLOSSES FROM A FREQUENCY BURST
Wir schreiben das Jahr 2087. Ein halbes Jahrhundert ist vergangen, seit die große Karte der gebrochenen Frequenzen zerbrach, die einst den gesamten Planeten umspannte. In der Archivierungsanlage sichtet eine Klangarchäologin Aufnahmen, untersucht fehlerhafte Datenträger, justiert die Geräte – und hört zu…

Erlebt die Uraufführung von „Glosses from a frequency burst“ – Rachel C. Walkers neuer Auftragskomposition mit der Sopranistin Nina Guo!

‘The Museum of the Lowest Place’ premiered on the 19th April 2026 as part of @anotherskyfestival @cafeotodalston

Here's a short excerpt of the full work, which is available via a link in my bio. I'm super proud of it, loved working with this band, and I'm excited to share the full documentation for the first time.

This work, for voice, microtonal electric guitar, violin, double bass, prepared piano, live electronics & audiovisual media, was written for Nina Guo @facesound , Daniel Brew @dan_brew , Linda Jankowska @ljankowska, Edward Kass & Mark Knoop @mark_knoop & supported by the PRS Foundation’s Composer’s Fund.

Occupations crumble to dust - but so does everything.

‘The Museum of the Lowest Place’ is a site of half-recollections.

Perhaps it is a ritual of remembering or forgetting.

In April 2025, I travelled to Jordan for the first time in over 20 years.

I visited the remnants of Crusaders’ castles & forgotten Roman fortifications.

I got lost in the desert.

I listened to the wind speak - through walls, trees, sand, rusted fence posts - intimately, in invitation and invocation.

The paralysing sound of distant air strikes made me afraid, ashamed & ridiculous.

I visited my Grandmother’s house, for the first time in over 30 years, where I wept and filmed abandoned lemon trees.

I remembered the Sun and observed many goats.

This is a piece about longing, fading, numbness, resilience. It is delicate & violent, and follows a dream & nightmare logic. It is personal, and yet takes place alongside accelerating dehumanisation & genocide.

Appropriately, the title of the piece is a misrememberance of a similarly named museum near the Dead Sea.

I am absolutely delighted that MARS has been nominated for a Sky Arts Award! The ceremony is next Tuesday and will be broadcast on Sky that night.

Thrilled, proud and excited that MARS has been nominated in the @skyarts Awards in the Opera category! 🤩🤩🤩

"Full of artistic ambition and technical achievement, MARS reimagines opera through a bold and inventive exploration of artificial intelligence, climate crisis and human ambition. Blending science fiction, experimental music, cutting-edge technology and sharp contemporary satire, the production pushes the boundaries of what opera can encompass. Jennifer Walshe, Mark O’Connell, Irish National Opera and Opéra de Lille have created a work that feels entirely new: intellectually provocative, visually innovative and deeply entertaining. MARS stands as a powerful example of contemporary opera at its most adventurous, imaginative and relevant."
