A Palace In Time: Soundtrack to the Robert Russell and Lisa Edelstein exhibit
This playlist was assembled as a companion to Robert Russell and Lisa Edelstein: A Palace in Time. Like the exhibition, it lingers in moments of reflection, memory, ritual, and quiet observation. Rather than following a single tradition or genre, these recordings move between spiritual jazz, ambient music, experimental composition, spoken word, and devotional song, creating space to slow down and contemplate the objects, stories, and relationships that shape our lives.
Many of these pieces feel suspended in time. Some evoke prayer, others remembrance or meditation. Together they offer a listening experience that mirrors the exhibition's invitation to consider how memory is carried through everyday rituals, shared histories, and the beauty found in ordinary moments.
