Six Pillars - Poetess Dorna and sound artist Sote, 3rd week

The studio was adorned by sapphic-beat poet Dorna, hailing from Communist parents in Sweden, she makes films and performs poetry live. Her poems are very intimate, cathartic, the kind that writers pen to be able to see their thoughts and feelings clearly.

The music was again by Sote (is that Scum of the Earth?) - his music has changed since his first release on WARP and he’s gone left of them to Dielectric records with Dastgaah, a highly enjoyable album.

We also played some Roshi, Welsh-Iranian folk singer just emerging on the art music scene. My favourite song of hers is a re-working of an old Iranian folk song “Mastom” - I am drunk (on divine love).
