What comes after death? The mystery of our final journey is as old as mankind itself. But unlike our ancestors, we prefer not to reflect on it too much. And that’s a shortcoming, composer Heather Pinkham believes. In this new edition of Music for Empty Spaces, Pinkham asks nine colleagues from diverse backgrounds to reflect on dying, death and mourning. Music, as the language of the unspeakable, which can help us talk about the inevitable end that is part and parcel of life.

New music by Bart Spaan, Orkun Ağır, Max Frimout, Maxim Shalygin, Jeff Hamburg, Sinta Wullur, Daan Manneke, Wilma Pistorius, Heather Pinkham.
