Johnson / Schubert / Mcveigh / Crider / Schmitz - Don't Look Back - Music CD

Don't Look Back, composer Jenny Olivia Johnson's solo debut album, explores early childhood and adolescent trauma. The album's five musical works-scored for voice, small chamber ensemble, and electronic sounds-profile characters undergoing the emotional aftermath of extreme experiences. While these subject matters might seem dark, Don't Look Back acknowledges what it means to overcome darkness, and how difficult experiences can indelibly reshape one's perceptual abilities in eerily beautiful ways. Ms. Johnson is a composer and sound artist currently teaching at Wellesley College.
