This is my FINAL Iceland Residency video update! In this video, I talk about my presentation of the Requiem Mass (in-progress), and also show my drive back to Reykjavik, Iceland for the last week of the trip. While the requiem mass is not fully complete, I will continue working on it for the next few months. Thank you for joining me on this journey! I want to give a special thanks to all my GoFundMe Supporters!

I crafted this electro-acoustic composition by meticulously blending field recordings of diverse objects, meticulously processed in Ableton Live. The result is an evocative auditory tapestry that manages to seamlessly straddle the line between unsettling eeriness and emotionally stirring atmospheres. Enjoy! Historical context of film footage: The use of tigers in circuses has a long-standing historical context, dating back to the heyday of traveling spectacles. Tigers, renowned for their majestic beauty and raw power, were once key attractions in these captivating shows. Throughout history, these magnificent creatures were paraded in grand processions, like the iconic "spec" performances, where they shared the spotlight with daring performers and other exotic animals, mesmerizing audiences with their presence. However, the historical charm often belies a darker reality. The treatment of tigers and other animals in circuses has raised significant concerns about animal welfare. The cramped living conditions, rigorous training methods, and constant travel have been detrimental to their physical and psychological well-being. The awe-inspiring displays mask the toll it takes on these creatures, highlighting the importance of recognizing their natural needs and preserving their dignity. As our collective awareness of animal welfare and ethical treatment has evolved, the use of tigers in circuses has come under scrutiny. Many countries and regions have implemented bans or restrictions on the use of wild animals in entertainment, acknowledging the inherent cruelty and outdated practices associated with these performances. Today, the focus is shifting towards providing tigers with more suitable and humane environments, such as wildlife sanctuaries, where they can thrive in conditions that mirror their natural habitat. The historical legacy of tigers in circuses serves as a reminder of our responsibility to treat these majestic creatures with respect and compassion. As we learn from the past, we are compelled to advocate for a future where their well-being takes precedence over spectacle, ensuring that they are afforded the dignity and care they deserve. ⭐️ LINKS⭐️ ▸ Join My Email List: http://feonaleejones.com/contact-email-list/ ▸ All Links: https://linktr.ee/feonaleejones ▸ Lesson Inquiries: http://feonaleejones.com/lessons/ ▸ Official Website: http://feonaleejones.com/ ▸ Odysee: https://odysee.com/@FeonaLeeJones:6 ▸ Soundcloud #1: https://soundcloud.com/feona ▸ Soundcloud #2: https://soundcloud.com/feonaleejones1 ▸ Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-499695 ▸ Bandcamp: https://feonaleejones.bandcamp.com/ ▸ Bitchute: https://www.bitchute.com/feonaleejones/ ▸ Telepathic Birds: https://linktr.ee/telepathicbirds ❤ Buy Scores: https://feonaleejones.square.site/ ❤ Download Music: https://feonaleejones.bandcamp.com/ ❤ Donate $: http://feonaleejones.com/donate/ ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x31PjgZVAQQ
