The Danaan - Faerie Revisted

The Danaan was created by Shannon Day & Hans Janowitz based on their shared experience of separate profound events in the country of Ireland. It was born from a desire of reconnection to a forgotten source of inspiration.

It's a return to a more elemental style of music; one rooted in improvisation, simplicity and space while avoiding presumption and over-production. The original recorded songs involved almost no rehersal, single unbroken takes, no click tracks, no digital editing and imperfections were left in place. That freedom from restriction and expectation allowed full expression in the present moment, and an intense connection with the sound and each other as the music took life.

Shannon & Hans continue to explore this method of open-ended composition, expanding on the reach, scope and limits of the music, and are currently working on a full-length CD expected to be available in 2008.
