Of Raindrops And Tears - From A Heart

Do
raindrops
envy tears Because
they glide gently down
cheeks, And aren't falling
onto concrete? Do raindrops
envy tears As they come from
pure emotion And aren't
equivalent to vapor?

Do tears
envy raindrops
Which have no say
in their falling And don't
have to feel ashamed? Do
tears envy raindrops Because
they need not feel pain, Or
fear or heartbreak?

Shelbie Rassler has gained global attention for her compositions and
social impact videos, most notably for her work on the Emmy nominated “Seasons of Love” Broadway Performance at the 2021 Presidential Inauguration. Shelbie has written new works and arrangements for notable performers/ensembles, including Yo-Yo Ma, Anthony McGill, Decoda (Carnegie Hall), and the United Nations Chamber Music Society. Shelbie has worked on the music production team of several Netflix shows and has composed the score for Lexus commercials, HBO Max ads, and many short films, including “Titan”, which is a CMF Cannes Film Festival Official Selection.

Shelbie collaborated on a string of virtual performances, resulting in over $8 million in total donations to help those affected by the Coronavirus pandemic. Shelbie won a CBS Sunny Award and the Eugene Difficult New Music Ensemble Call for Scores, was nominated for an American Academy of Arts and Letters Composer Award and was named Truthspaper’s “Young Woman of the Year”. She’s been interviewed on The Today Show, Good Morning America, Forbes, NPR and many others.

The Museum of Viral Memory Eugene, Oregon

A lifetime in noise & experimental stitched to the last 100 years of electroacoustic, ecoacoustic, concrete magique

Improv jazz come unpinned from time

Conceptual music built from field recordings

Sound art for dreaming, drifting, disappearing

Ritual magick, slow to cast; slow to coalesce

Invocations unintended for human ears

Music in geologic time

Aureality for the non-conscious mind ... more
