Threnody for the Dispossessed by Erik Ruin published on 2019-03-25T03:27:45Z Soundtrack to the screenprinted book by Erik Ruin. Music composed by Julius Masri. A Threnody for the Dispossessed is a sixty-foot long screen-printed scroll/accordion-book that impressionistically interweaves the experiences of people displaced by war in the Middle East, Europe and Latin America. Images and experiences flow freely into another, the trails of tear gas morphing into the mists of limbo. A "wailing ode", a chorus of voices drawn from historical accounts and contemporary interviews accompanies the book, part of an original score by multi-instrumentalist Julius Masri.
