‘Remote Connection’ by Australian composer Stuart Greenbaum was composed especially for Liam in 2021.
‘Remote Connection’ was written as the composer reflected back on his experiences during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 – a year, where like the rest of us, he was seeing fewer people than ever.
Stuart Greenbaum says, “The phrase ‘remote connection’ has an inherent friction to it, conjuring both distance and closeness. Its common usage refers to wireless devices sharing information; but I’m interested in the phrase as an allegory of human connection. We can experience loneliness in the midst of a crowded room, yet also sense connection in extreme isolated places.”
