Inspired by Artistic Director Joanna Haigood’s rediscovery of a handwritten song log from her teenage years as a radio disc jockey in Vermont, the piece reflects on how memory shapes present choices and future paths. It revisits songs that shaped Haigood’s early creative life while reconstructing decades of work created at Zaccho Studio.
