A rare performance of Disaster Passport's original score to the film, Koyaanisqatsi, played to a live screening of the movie.
Over six months in 2018, working alone and together, members of Madison's world music ensemble Disaster Passport composed a new score to the 1983 art film, Koyaanisqatsi. The original score was written by Philip Glass. The word Koyaanisqatsi comes from the Hopi Indian tradition meaning, "life out of balance." Director Godfrey Reggio and his cinematographer Ron Fricke, merging dramatic footage of wide open countryside and inner city scenes, set out to show the tenuous relationship between humans and their environment--and between one another. ISTHMUS music critic Marc Eisen included the program on his list of Madison's "Best Live Performances" of 2019. Said Eisen, "I was knocked out by the creative audacity of Disaster Passport."

The Nunnery is the project of Madison indy-musician Sarah Elstran.
The Nunnery begins with one voice, layered upon itself becoming a lush soundscape.
Sarah Elstran bridges the gap between bright-eyed pop composition and hands-on atmospheric live layering of voice. Her vocal loops give us the kind of detail and wide multi-octave range that we might come to expect from a marquee pop star, while her production decisions continually keep us guessing as to what rabbit holes her tracks might fall into next.
