Kachara Ladaee by McClane Bernshausen

Percussion Quartet

"The world is becoming filled with trash. The plains, mountains, oceans, and roads; none of these are safe from the overpopulation of waste. There is an industry built off profiting from trash, and it upsets me to my core. It is despicable how they see pollution and trash as an opportunity to create jobs, and more importantly, to create money. It makes my blood boil. No matter how angry I am, nothing will change because those in power will always call the shots. They will never have to pay for the consequences. For upon our despair, they have built mansions and factories. As the mountains of trash become larger, so do the pockets of those involved in this industry. This piece focuses on one company in particular, whose practices upset me the most. The first movement of this piece titled “Kachara Ladaee”, translates to “Trash Fight”, and tells of the pointless fight between two forces: the people who try with all their might to bring about change and the brutal and unwavering company, who will always stand their ground."
