Stef Conner’s new album, The Flood.

Stef Conner’s new musical renderings of Akkadian tunes are now released in her album The Flood. The review in Newsweek comments that Conner “wanted to know what these languages sounded like, to summon life from stone.” “Many of these poems and snatches of writings were sung and chanted, according to historians. The tunes played an important part in rituals in Mesopotamian societies, from funerals to lullabies.” To view the album on iTunes, click here.
