O'Keeffe Bones by Patrick Friesen & Niko Friesen

This album begins with birth and childhood and moves through middle life into old age and back again. There are themes of loss and dementia, and ultimately the notion that each human being is like a planet in the universe, arriving briefly and leaving. Text speaks it and music carries these themes into an emotional life, creating depths and dimensions, as the two interweave, augmenting each other.
