about

‘THE HAPPENING’ - ‘SOUNDTRACKS OF PEOPLES LIVES’

‘The Happening’ - Pensive, cinematic and orphic, ‘The Happening’ are mini sound tracks of peoples lives. Introspection & self reflection in these uncertain times.

All tracks were created, produced and performed by RENU.

Dear Pariah also features on this sound track collection (Stefan & Aida). Dear Pariah lent her voice to my earlier albums - ‘Threshold’ & ‘They dance in the dark’

Individuals from many walks of life are asked ‘How is your life today different from what you had thought it might be?’, focusing on a moment when their perspective shifted and they found themselves viewing the world in a new way. Happening is a hands-on and face-to-face piece about and for real people, celebrating the quiet yet significant moments of self-reflection that affect each of our lives, and keeps us growing, changing as individuals.
(Rachel Burn)

'You must think that something is happening with you, that life has not forgotten you, that it holds you in its hand; it will not let you fall.
The future stands firm... but we move in infinite space.'
Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters To A Young Poet
(Rachel Burn)

Pensive, cinematic and orphic, ‘The Happening’ is the soundtrack of peoples lives.
