About This Show

‘Notes from the Basement’ is a staged concept album exploring love and loss through the perspective of an aid worker during the European refugee influx of 2015-2016. After founding a music program in an emergency refugee camp in Berlin, Kate Eberstadt lived in her parents’ basement for a year, processing – and not processing – the enormity of the experience: that of the families she was worked with, the aid workers and other people she met there, and her own. Framed as a mixtape of choral arrangements, electronic loops, and Middle Eastern music, ‘Notes from the Basement’ grapples with finding humanity in seemingly inhuman circumstances.
