NEW SYMMETRY at The Tan

A new pop-electronica choral experience (with hot chocolate recipe)

By Stephanie Singer

Friday DECEMBER 4 at 8PM EST

Tickets: $5, $10, $25

Board this New Symmetry flight and travel through the unstable terrain of an emotional landscape as formed by PTSD. Composed & recorded by Stephanie Singer during her residency in Russia in MARCH 2020, the score weaves six electronica/choral songs together to form one continuous piece of music. Produced by Amanda MAYo (Slow Shudder), whose luminous and immersive sound design envelopes the listener, New Symmetry unfolds like a stream of consciousness triggered by the question: is it possible for a person to change? Each song is an intimate window into Singer's own emotional patterns, and between each song is spoken text intertwined with music.

New Symmetry is part album, part podcast and part pep-talk. It seeks to inspire people to open themselves up, to look at their emotional patterns & rhythms, and to see what happens when they embrace the idea that the world is changing constantly, every cell is in flux. A futuristic, surreal polyphonic choral piece which could be seen as a form of much needed therapy for today, it comes with its own hot chocolate recipe to sip while you watch.

Singer (UK) wrote the music whilst in Yekaterinburg in MARCH 2020. Collaborators are producer MAYo (Seattle, USA), designer Freyja Sewell (London, UK), illustrator Maria Medem (Seville, Spain), dancer Natalya Levchenko (Yekaterinburg, RU), chef Alina Kuznetcova (Yekaterinburg, RU), translator Alexandra Yaroslavtseva (Yekaterinburg, RU), Adam Bernet (London UK) and singer Inna Medvedeva (Yekaterinburg, RU).
