Experience the sounds and sights of Joshua Stamper's
'mid the steep sky's commotion

Premiered at the Crane Arts Icebox Project Space in June 2017,  'mid the steep sky's commotion  by composer Joshua Stamper is back  in two new videos  by filmmaker Ben Stamper - featuring two Rhodes pianos,  24 singers, and an amazing acoustic.
