## Resource

Re-Imagined Radio samples two stories by Martin J. Gallagher, an independent composer and sound designer based in Portland, Oregon. Both stories are framed by music. "And the Waters Were Music" tells of Gallagher's 1998 visit to China with his wife Rose. He remembers how water and music were a part of his experience. "And the Ruins Became a Prayer," tells of learning about the war in Ukraine. In the story, Gallagher honors Ukrainian classical composer Valentin Silvestrov by recording a premiere performance of a three-movement string quartet, "Ruins of Mariupol," by Vancouver, Washington composer Daniel Truschov. From our Guest Producer series. Thank you for listening.
