Revolves year zero, Revolves year zero, Another zero, of zero zeros. We keep distance, We keep distance, Physical distance with digital instants. We keep cleaning, We keep cleaning, Mining the meaning for incessant cleaning. We reached, We reached, We reached the peak, The peak of excess in the guise of success. We witness, we witness, we witness the patterns, The intricate patterns that continue to weave. We breathe, we sing, We breathe, we sing, We breathe the noise of the silence that croons.

about

Modular Opera EP1 follows Mirza’s “modular opera” structure, and features four tracks or “acts” from previous iterations performed across the world including The Australian Centre for Contemporary Arts for Melbourne International Festival, The Liverpool Biennial and 180 The Strand London. As new acts join the repertoire, the narrative, based around a shaman who uses her voice to heal, unfolds exploring ideas of sound, medicine and mystical experience. The multimedia works ask us to consider the sociological and physiological properties of the human voice, and explores Mirza's interest in systems of belief, waveforms and patterns of movement.

This iteration presented as an audiovisual EP the work is comprised of four acts that explore 111 Hz, a frequency relevant to both neolithic architecture and modern neurology. The frequency is a fictional trope in Mirza's ongoing Modular Opera. Video's accompany all four tracks.
