„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.

This composition was inspired by this wonderful haiku:

the bracing east wind
cold as a nordic summer;
kicking up white sand

Here And Now Are Witches

Moonphase is a collaboration project by
Shavn Beck (The last American poet) and Øystein Q. Jørgensen

"Disperse With The Light"

Spare me the prayers of a fake world & words which were never meant
We were reflecting on the attributes of rune magic on our path to strength
Staring into the murky waters that were coming to life from deep below
Disperse With The Light & promises used to console the fool

I have choice words for your so called angelic advice
Rising upwards from the pain of a heart you broke twice
Disperse With The Light & stories of faith & hope, I have heard it all
Burning wings of the hollow eyed neophite licking at the flames as I fall

Shane Beck (The Last American Poet)

Moonphase - Disperse With The Light

A wistful blend of notes and found sound.
