APOLOGIZE TO ME, HUMANITY

Score to PYLON II - a multimedia dance performance choreographed by Coleman Pester //TMS 

PYLON II is a multi media performance blending highly physical dance, active visual projections, and live-feed surveillance; blurring the line between observer and observed and is the second iteration of PYLON. 

The ongoing project PYLON is concerned with themes of systematic fear and control placed on human bodies operating within modern society; between communal pressure and self-fulfillment, between surveillance and privacy, between unyielding architecture and fragile flesh. This is an investigation of watching and individuation. PYLON features dynamic choreography, architectural installation, and a complex quagmire of digital image gathering/projection. 

Composed, recorded, and mixed by Monika Khot

Apologize To Me, Humanity

This piece is a programmed, gestural based work created for the score of the multimedia dance work PYLON III. Four dancers had a series of 15 gestures they performed for 70 bars at 110 bpm. I consumed their written score, created 15 rhythmic phrases using toms, taiga drums, timpanis, etc, and wrote a program in Python to concatenate and map these audio phrases to the gestures performed by the four dancers. Each set of gestures over time were panned to the dancers positioning, further emphasizing the dancer as the source of sound.

Prologue

Nordra is the solo project by London-based artist Monika Khot. She creates her design of the future of pop using an incredibly intense mix of noise, electronic beats, her ethereal voice and various live instruments such as a guitar and a pocket trumpet. Her sound emits the fate and terror of metal even if the traditional instrumentation of a metal outfit is missing. As a film and dance composer, Nordra’s sound world is cinematic nature and her creations are heavily driven by mental states that face fear, torment, hope and despair.

In addition to her solo project, she fronts the band Zen Mother and has been found as a touring multi-instrumentalist with Daughters, Zola Jesus, Marissa Nadler, Cassandra Jenkins, and more.
