Roger Thorp 'The Dreamers Heart' at Auditorium Parco Della Musica in Rome

Anima Mundi are delighted to present Roger Thorp’s ‘The Dreamer's Heart' at the Auditorium Parco Della Musica in Rome, Italy, from 1st - 31st January 2020.

’The Dreamers Heart’ is a tonal sound work created by British contemporary artist Roger Thorp. As well as existing as an isolated work, the piece also forms a key component of Thorp’s multimedia work ‘Blue in Amber’, an installation which attempts urgent preservation of fleeting grace. The piece, a nostalgic lamentation, evokes a quiet and subtle sense of urgency to protect what is unique and authentic; in contrast to the pervasive erosion endemic to our contemporary world. 'The Dreamer's Heart' has been re-mixed with its presentation in the Sound Corner at Auditorium Parco Della Musica in mind. As the listener approaches, the reverberating hum gives way to haunting voice, mesmerically looping within this transitional space.

THE DREAMER'S HEART…
oh little heart
caress this aching world
for now this time
oh little heart, touch,
awaken the compassion
of the centuries
oh little heart
the olive tree sings
gracious and sure
oh little heart
you can see
the truth of the bee
oh little heart
racing to the unbeknown
chance is gazing
oh little heart
sing a river of words
to the underworld
oh little heart
you can feel
the dreamer’s heart
