“<\/strong>The Rivers are our Brothers” is the title of an electronic song cycle about ecological responsibility told from the earth’s point of view. The songs in the cycle take a firsthand view of nature: rocks sing of their mothers and snowflakes tell of their sandy hearts. Originally scored for an electro-acoustic ensemble, in this new arrangement performer-composer Connery <\/strong>teams up with Felix Fan<\/strong> (electric cello) pushing the cycle into the realm of the supernatural. “The goal of the cycle is to give nature a voice,” Connery<\/strong> says. “But we are not making a cute nature documentary. The addition of Felix’s electric cello to my vocal synthesis gives the cycle a whole new and exciting energy. We are invoking the voices of nature, and they are out of this world.”<\/p>\n\n
