about

Recorded entirely at home by each vocalist, while on a group video conference call to simulate our connectedness, Kitka recorded Janet Kutulas' playful composition "Geshem Gehsem (Rain Rain)" in April of 2020.

The resulting video and audio recordings are now available here on Bandcamp... Enjoy!

Drops of water all day long
Drip, drop, drip, drop
Clap your hands together!
