Lieven Martens Moana

Recorded in Antwerp. Winter / spring 2012 - 2013, and spring 2015. Inspired by a poem of Percy Shelley, mid 20th century radio plays, and – of course – an island. This cassette is a revised version of the eponymous LP, released two years ago. A playwright visits an uninhabited island. He takes a rest in an abandoned lighthouse, nods off and enters the island’s mind. Through transfiguration into the isle’s forms – rock, shrubs, water, its fauna and flora, … he becomes the island.
