The program compares humans' sensory bubbles to those of other creatures, through not only our core five senses but also magnetoreception, echolocation, nociception, equilibrioception, thermoception, and electroreception—the latter represented by a new piece, “Signal to Noise,” composed by MHWS Artistic Director Annika Bentley. Both Banna and Barrett will engage in live mixing during the performances, making each a truly one-of-a-kind event. In all, “The Hundred Windows” encompasses choral works from Malaysia, Haiti, South Africa, Norway, Brazil, Ireland, Australia, China, Ecuador, the United States, Canada, and the Ute people, all performed in their original languages. Two of the songs are in untranslated indigenous languages, and two feature neutral syllables in lieu of words. A natural extension of MHWS's mission to build community and foster intercultural understanding through music performed in original languages from around the globe, this performance invites the audience to reexamine the layers of our lived experiences.
