Dolly and Raffaele 
by Geneviève Costello
Soundworks produced for Lumpen Station Connexions, june 2022

Moving between languages and multi-generational Italian-American and American-French immigrant life, « Dolly and Raffaele » forms an aural diary - a temporal and spatial maze of communication, love, and inhabiting. Part testimony, poetic sequence, annotation, and sound effect, « Dolly and Raffaele » expands upon traditional voices of history and forms of sharing contemporary social life.
