ongs honour family members, romantic interests, close friends, newborns, and on one occasion, a spirit. Muir sends the majority of these pieces to far away places via email, never having met those involved in person. Some songs are romantic, some hilarious - from a few words or phrases, she creates something poignant and unique. This collaborative song-telling project was sparked by a lyric from a song of hers: "Nothing is sacred unless you make it so." Often seemingly innocuous objects contain ascribed significance, hidden from view. A ratty old t-shirt that your mother keeps throwing away: a gift from your first love. A tacky little plastic figurine: a lucky talisman you found at the airport before leaving on a life-changing trip. This project will crack these stories open in a playful, reflective, and musical way. Special thanks to the Fisch Haus family, Emily, and Kylie. And to the beloved object contributors for taking part in this project: Mike Marlett (Albert the Alligator) Kaitlin Parks (Red Harmonica) Annie Bananie (Aventurine) Anna Blankenship (Snow Globe) Elizabeth Stevenson (Charles the Wallet) Arora Schmidt (Arora's Creation) Patrick Duegaw (Can of Tomatoes)
