The Unsung (2024)

Malloy James was the 2024 Distinguished Fellow for the Design Akademie Saaleck (dieDAS). Through this fellowship, he created an immersive, multi-genre composition inspired by the program's themes of material evidence and labor, reflecting on the difficult and contested history of the campus and region.

The classical composition with jazz and ambient elements was performed by James as the closing program for the annual Walk + Talk event at Nietzsche-Haus in Naumburg, Germany in September 2025.
