About this listen

Still, the Sky is a speculative mythology rendered through poetry that combines the tales of Icarus and the Minotaur and creates for them a shared coming of age through a correspondence of written fragments, artifacts, ecofacts, and ephemera. Fragmented memories, relics, and confessions combine in a labyrinth of fever dreams and meditations that contemplate innocence and experience, war and peace, exile and homecoming, flight and failure, love and loss.

In this new audiobook rendition of Tom Pearson's poetry, the characters of Ikaros, Asterion, Daedalus, Ariadne, and others are given voice through the chorus of performers, Andrew Broaddus, Justin Lynch, and Mary Madsen, while the physical and psychological worlds they inhabit are sculpted by a through-composed score written and played by Sean Hagerty with Isaiah Singer.

Sean Hagerty: electric violin and mandolin, keyboard, electronics

Isaiah Singer: upright bass, harmonica, slide guitar, electric piano

Lorenzo Wolff: Audio Engineer (Restoration Sound, Brooklyn)
