Garden of Memory is a yearly walk-through musical event that celebrates the Summer Solstice. Hosted by New Music Bay Area, and curated by Sarah Cahill, the event takes place in the Chapel of the Chimes, a columbarium multilevel maze of interior gardens, alcoves, pools, and antechambers ingeniously designed by architect Julia Morgan in Oakland, California.Since 2007 I have been performing yearly in the Garden of Eternal Wisdom. This album contains live tracks played at the 2012concert. The sound of dripping water comes from the four fountains in the garden and is one of the sources of my inspiration. The rest of the ambient sounds create the sensation of being in the garden with me.This album is dedicated to those who lie behind those walls, who rest in those cinerary urns, and those whose souls are still riding their journey to liberation. With deep gratitude to the miracle of life, and acceptance of the inevitability of death. - Laura InserraCover photo by Marco Sanchez. Graphic Design by Arianna Tondo.
