Sarah Cahill’s project to commission 18 composers protesting and reflecting on war, violence, and the nature of peace, is a fantastic project that has been made even more lovely by the addition of breathtaking three channel video projections by John Sanborn.

Two excerpts from the Cal Performances in Berkeley, CA on January 25th, 2009:
Mamoru Fujieda – The Olive Branch Speaks
The Residents – drum no fife (Why We Need War)
