🌒 Danai Simou - New Moon 🌘
“New Moon” is my debut EP release. Defined by its lo-fi, dark, experimental, chamber aesthetic, this album is a narration of the stages of an intimate relationship. Love, fear, disappointment, anger and a restart. Five love poems transformed into soundscapes made of broken pianos, live recordings, violin orchestrations and analog synths, partially recorded live. Repetitive, melancholic, sarcastic and aggressive.
All songs are written and performed live by me. I want to deeply express my gratitude for everyone who was involved during this process. My extremely talented music partner
@amberclockmusic , who recorded, co-produced/arranged and played electronics, synths and a little bit of bass, the wonderful
@onerandomkalliopi for her majestic violin orchestrations, my dear
@asylum_promises for some heavy beats and synths and Panos Papastergiou on the drums. Moreover,
@cv.reflection , for his amazing work on mixing and mastering this album, and
@kontanj /
@semitonelabs for catching my aesthetics and designing the digital cover and cassette.
The project is accompanied by a limited edition tape cassette, two photo/poetry zines entitled “Full Moon” and “Eclipse” and a stainless steel sun pendant necklace.
