While editing what feels like a multisensory experience for Hussein Rashid’s piece on our blog, “Qawwalis, Found Sounds, and Benghazi: Locating the Sacred in a New York Church,” our senior editor Trent Gilliss included this video of Korean-American experimental musician Bora Yoon. She creates soundscapes from found objects and digital devices, mixed with her voice:

“She has an ethereal voice that sounds like it would be at home in the Choir at the Church of the Ascension, which it is, or in the Elvish kingdoms of The Lord of the Rings.”
