My Olympus
Sara Gilis & Jeff Herr
With this project, Sara Gilis (B) and Jeff Herr (LUX) give a voice to several strong women from Greek mythology. We all know someone who has the childlike enthusiasm of Persephone, the irrepressible dynamism of Artemis, the benevolent nature of Demeter,...
Sara was intrigued by this theme and looked for common ground. The writing process turned out to be an introspective journey and a reflection on the inspiring encounters that have marked the path. The stage is now a playground, samples and field recordings glue fantasy and sound together. My Olympus is an instrumental adventure that leaves room for experimentation, improvisation and a good dose of imagination.
