really a great honor to have this track on Unexplained Sounds Group "Italian experimental underground 016 survey"

Great experimental style. Very psychedelic and transformative.

@gunurrainn: I thank you, I'm just a man who works hard and makes a lot of research

Wonderful interweaving textures, punctuated by the choral samples. Lovely and slightly menacing at the same time. Wonderful work.

An astonishing mix of voice and electronic sound!

One of the most incredible things ive heard on Soundcloud 

„pan dora“ is based on Bernhard Weiss’ music for the butoh-performance „PanD’orA - Shades of Hope“ by DaniMayu and her Company MayuKan. Sounds and fragments of the original soundtrack are condensed into an independent track. „pan dora“ consists exclusively of partially heavily processed recordings of acoustic instruments (gongs, kamalen goni, windchimes, cymbals and tibetan singing bowls) and field recordings.

The performance was to have taken place in Vienna in early November 2020, but had to be cancelled and postponed indefinitely due to a lockdown.

About the piece „PanD’orA - Shades of Hope“:

After 20 years of being a butoh performer and choreographer, DaniMayu revived her Company MayuKan in order to create her new piece „PanD'orA - Shades of Hope“. In her new production Dani Mayu is honouring her body of work by incorporating quotes from over 30 pieces of hers.

Starting from Pandora's Box, the members of the Company show different aspects of hope in the tension between the general positive connotation of today and in the sense of Friedrich Nietzsche, who in „Human, All too Human“ describes hope as the worst of all evils.

Concept / Choreography / Costumes & Stage: DaniMayu
Dance: DaniMayu, Jule, Michaela Mab, Runa Hatariy, Stephanie Tietz, Theresa Grießenberger

Joan Jordi Oliver is a musician from Spain based in between Zürich (CH) and The Hague (NL). Trained as a classical saxophonist and as an electroacoustic composer, his artistic practice has explored many different facets of music making, constantly oscillating in between interpretation of classical and modern literature, composition, free improvisation, experimental music, multimedia projects and collaborations in all possible directions.
The COVID pandemic supposed an important shift in his artistic vision, and he progressively abandons the more gestural and performative approach to embrace a more introspective relationship with the sonic experience. He started discovering ambient and drone music and getting familiar with the work of artists like Tim Hecker, that have influenced him deeply. In 2021 he releases his first album of experimental electronic ambient “Enlaire”, starting a journey that continues to expand into the permanent exploration of new sonic realms.

“What was a crucial sound experience in your life?”
Memory allows us to construct our own interpretation from our experiences and create a narrative that connects isolated moments in our life to configure a journey that, somehow, might make sense. I remember many first times with albums that have influenced me - I remember the environment, the feeling, maybe a specific location (I usually went on walks around my neighborhood in Zürich as discover-new-music sessions). I gather beautiful memories of how a work made me feel, and how it created this invisible connection in between the artist and myself. I believe that this sort of connection is what I want to achieve in my own music. To connect with strangers, to create a special moment for them.
It’s difficult to pick a specific moment, but because of its relevance, there is one that comes to mind. A few years ago the Youtube algorithm brought a really unexpected musical selection when I was cleaning up the studio after a session of work. I would usually play it soft in the background and focus on rolling the cables well, but in that moment the sounds paralyzed me. “Andata”, the opening track of Ryuichi Sakamoto’s album Async, was playing. That was an encounter with a music my intuition was dreaming of. “This is it. This is the music I wanted to make without knowing it. It’s here, it’s real. This Sakamoto guy is my new hero”. From this point on, I started exploring artists related to this aesthetic and began a really beautiful journey, finding music that I emotionally connected with. That moment in the studio was a really significant one and, in this imaginary map of my memory, I marked it as a crucial shifting point in my artistic vision.

Track 10 from: "Italian experimental underground 016 survey"  by "Unexplained Sounds Group"... great thanks to Raffaele Pezzella.  http://unexplainedsoundsgroup.bandcamp.com/album/italian-experimental-underground-016-survey
--Experimental Electronic and Aesthetic, Granular Synthesis and Voice. The inspiration starts from the Gregorian melisma, then Flemish Polyphony, then Madrigals by Monteverdi, then with a leap I get to experiments on magnetic tape by Luciano Berio and Cathy Berberian (1958 omaggio a Joyce), and then Luigi Nono. Here are my sources. I elaborated the voice and interpretation of Vanessa Tagliabue Yorke, her phrases, her singing, I reconstructed the material in aesthetic form. The result is beyond my expectations. The aesthetic beauty is absolute. The transcendent reality often arrive to us. We must accept it and act as intermediary.
--Elettronica Sperimentale ed Estetica, Syntesi Granulare e Voce. L'ispirazione comincia dai melismi del Gregoriano, poi la Polifonia Fiamminga, poi i Madrigali di Monteverdi, poi con un balzo arrivo alle sperimentazioni su nastro magnetico di Luciano Berio e Cathy Berberian (1958, omaggio a Joyce), e poi Luigi Nono. Queste le fonti. Ho elaborato la voce e l'interpretazione di Vanessa Tagliabue Yorke, le sue frasi, il suo canto, ho ricomposto la tavolozza. Il risultato è oltre le mie aspettative. La bellezza estetica è assoluta. La realtà trascendente spesso arriva a noi. Dobbiamo accettarla e fare da tramite.
