Maya Shenfeld + Pedro Maia

From a drone’s eye perspective, we fly through a world out of joint: Under the Sun is the name of the audiovisual project that musician Maya Shenfeld and filmmaker Pedro Maia perform at donaufestival. The imagery was captured under the scorching sun in one of the world’s deepest marble quarries in southern Portugal. Shenfeld has produced a song cycle for analogue synthesisers, woodwinds, voice, and field recordings. It is about recurrence and change, about the ecstasies of deep time and the turmoil of the present that is throwing everything out of balance.
