michelle dorrance • praedicere

this World Premiere pièce d’occasion is the first in a trio of works by tap dancer, choreographer and macArthur genius fellow michelle dorrance, co-commissioned with Vail Dance Festival, and music by Dawn of Midi. This is Dorrance’s first work for American Ballet Theatre.

"an impressive feat of creativity and athleticism that brought enraptured cheers" - forbes

under the influence

mark jacobson interviewed us for this bi-annual magazine based in london, uk

"there is individual technical virtuosity where one achieves complete command of an instrument. this is not dawn of midi's genius. theirs is derived and mined from an obsessive, meticulous commitment to ensemble through compulsive practice and continuous refinement. theirs honours the past: a reimagining of ancient west and north african rhythms for a modern, western, all-acoustic configuration of piano-bass-drums that, at moments, sounds like the frenetic electronic clicks, snaps, & bass drops of an aphex twin cut."

dj mix • sounds of sonar

a collection of groovy music beyond any genre and classification

dj mix • clash music

" 'dysnomia', in a certain way, is about deception. the idea is to create music that would feel right, in a certain pulse, and make people dance, even if felt in a completely different and wrong way. just like in many folk traditions of the world, only the members of that specific community understand and feel the music correctly."

"as an outsider and discoverer of this new music, you would enjoy it at first, even without really understanding it, but the more time spent listening to it, the closer you'll get to feeling the music the right way. this mix, containing diverse styles of moroccan folk and ewe music from ghana and benin, is a journey illustrating this very concept of deception. enjoy!"

kashmir

kashmir is a concert piece with film exploring the role of memory in conflict. the performance places its investigation in the context of the territorial conflict over the region kashmir. visually, the film, shot on location in srinagar kashmir, provides a visual counterpoint to the rhythmic and harmonic texture of an original, through-composed score in four movements by dawn of midi
