Here are live recordings, from a concert this past Friday evening, of soprano Phoebe MacRae and pianist Rachel Iwaasa premiering two new art songs, each using text taken from my poem "First Person Shooter." The first, "Drift," is a setting by Vancouver composer Alex Mah. The second setting, "Torn Daisies," is by Winnipeg composer David Betz. The premieres were part of the Songfire Festival's "Playing with Fire" concert, showcasing new music emerging from this year's collaborative Art Song Lab, part of the Vancouver International Song Institute. My sincere thanks to Ray Hsu, Alison D'Amato, Michael Park and Rena Sharon.
