Wall St. Journal review of TBTSR
[OSO’s] latest project, “The Beauty That Still Remains: Diaries in Song”, creates an emotional landscape for all of us confined to our homes. Three sepia-toned, handwritten diaries arrive in the mail. Each looks like a relic, dug out of an attic or an archive. You follow an internet link to an audio recording, and the first-person account on the pages becomes a haunting voice, the dead speaking from the distant past.
