dc.description.abstractThe Blood Song Winter Count, is a collection of five (5) musical works that collectively function as sonic symbols which document my personal experience of grief and loss. These works function as ritualized emotional “time capsules” of my lived experience and are interpreted through my Indigenous knowledge inheritance of Blackfoot storywork and ritual. Although this supporting paper is meant to contextualize their creation, this document also serves a relational seed to root myself in an audiences’ soil. To fully decipher the sonic symbols that make up The Blood Song Winter Count, you must fully understand their ancestral lineage, which ultimately originates with the land and with an emotional-spiritual ecosystem within me.
