ORISON

Orison (prayer) is a musical collaboration from musician Daniel Áñez and composer James O’Callaghan, connecting science fiction imagery with spirituality and the idea of ‘alien-ness’ in all of its senses: social, cultural, psychological, extra-terrestrial. The work centres the unique early electronic instrument, the ondes Martenot, as a jumping-off point to interact with synthesized soundscapes, field recordings, techno, poetic text, and documentary-like spoken confessionals.
