Disaster Passport Plays Koyaanisqatsi
In 2018, working alone and together, members of the Madison based world music quartet Disaster Passport composed an original score to the 1982 experimental film "Koyaanisqatsi." The film was directed by Godfrey Reggio. The original soundtrack was written and performed by New York avant garde composer Philip Glass. The word "koyaanisqatsi" is a Hopi Indian term for "life out of balance." With scenes of crowded urban settings and wide open western U.S. landscapes, Reggio set out to explore the tenuous relationship people have with each other and their environment. There is no dialogue. Disaster Passport will play their soundtrack live to the movie.
Disaster Passport's score is a release of Dagoretti Records of Ann Arbor.
Madison alt-weekly music critic Marc Eisen of ISTHMUS said this of the show:
"I was knocked out by the creative audacity of Disaster Passport. They were fearless."
