„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

Pan Dora

Nitt Nitt

Pure Air

Silvery Water

Flags

Look all above
Walls of concrete and glass
The world below
Matters no more to them than us

Question the call
When there are rules to be made
Cause it's all about their debt when it must be paid

It's a well-known game no one would like to defy
But I've got my edge to admit it:

When their interest is gone, you're all on your own
Looking out for a way
It's a matter of trust -
Are we here to abide
To the flags that are waving?

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.

In Hour 2 we hand over to Berlin-based composer, producer and sound designer, Ben Lukas Boysen who released his album 'Spell' in June, mixed and mastered by friend and fellow Erased Tapes artist Nils Frahm. Music featured includes Pink Floyd, Kurt Stenzel, Demdike Stare, Hans Otte, Nina Simone and Ryoji Ikeda, and he had this to say about his mix;

"Some all time influential songs and hidden gems that contrast and complement each other. I love these songs for their simplicity and ample, devotional focus on composition and sound. There is ravishing beauty in the absence of decoration."

--Ritual emotions collected in the far past- Contact is through the unconditional listening- Vibratory components are medium for contact- Ritual is always hypnotic- Visions while listening are welcome- Symbolic images are fragments of knowledge- Ritual awakens forgotten cognitions.
--Emozioni rituali raccolte nel lontano passato- Il contatto avviene tramite l'ascolto incondizionato- Le componenti vibratorie sono il tramite per il contatto- Il rituale è sempre ipnotico- Le visioni durante l'ascolto sono benvenute- Le immagini simboliche sono frammenti di conoscenza- Il rito risveglia le cognizioni dimenticate.
