From Danielle--A collection of sounds and poems (written by me) from my trip to Israel and Palestine March of 2018. The recording begins with one of our tour guides singing in a cistern at Masada, moves to the refugee camp in Bethlehem, and from there consists of a combination of sounds from Yad Vashem, Jerusalem, Hebron, Mahane Yehuda Market, and several other locations throughout Israel and Palestine.
