ABSENCE OF ME (2019)

Absence of Me is a short multimedia solo performance piece consisting of five remixes of past G,NA songs and a new single, “Absence of Me,” which was released in 2019. The piece includes sampled meditations, a synchronized light show, and video accompaniment by director Dycee Wildman including the music video for the “Absence of Me” single.

ABSENCE OF ME PREMIERED in Nashville
at THE COBRA ON MAY 18, 2019

The first single from G,NA since 2015, “Absence of Me” was a collaboration with producer Eric Hillman of Foreign Fields, who brought his signature sound to create a swirling, symphonic experience that feels more like the soundtrack to a film than just a five-minute song. The official music video for the single was directed and edited by Dycee Wildman and Caleb Dirks.

A remix by Sarah’s real-life brother John Paul Roney aka Boom Forest was released later that year, with an accompanying music video featuring the siblings in a stark performance contrast that was directed and edited by Dycee Wildman and filmed by Danielle Shields.
