While DAEMONIA NYMPHE work on their forthcoming album, they take a short break to present their experimental project “Witches’ Lullaby: Whispers from the North, South and East”.

This project follows the special EP released in 2021, in which they collaborated with vocal artists Hatis Noit (Japan), Priscilla Hernandez (Spain), Victoria Couper (UK/Portugal) and Rey Yusuf (UK/Turkey) to create a multi-collective soundscape based on the melody of the song of the same name, originally written for the soundtrack of the play Macbeth (in 2016 for the National Theatre of Northern Greece).

They finally complete the initial sound exploration in this second project, with German Joran Elane, Palestinian Enas-Al-Said, British India Blue, British/Portuguese Victoria Couper and British/Turkish Reyhan Yusuf presenting their new takes. Additional artists who lend their voices in the project are Evi Stergiou (of Daemonia Nymphe), Louisa John Krol (Australia) and Stevie Toddler (England). In this composition of improvisations and sound environments of different descents, each artist brings their own linguistic and cultural influences, but also their particular musical identity. A project that invites the listener on a journey of introspection and inner exploration.

DAEMONIA NYMPHE released their Lullaby project EP based on “Witches’ Lullaby” on Bandcamp on the 31st of March and it will be released on all digital platforms on the 8th of April 2021. The Bandcamp release also includes the original track “Witches’Lullaby” which was the inspiration for this project. Videos so far about the project can be seen at this location.

“Witches’ Lullaby” was originally composed for the play Macbeth, which was staged at the National Theatre of Northern Greece, directed by Anastasia Revi.

In the play, this melody represented the Shakespearean witches, these enigmatic and dangerous beings who manipulate Macbeth and make us wonder if they are, in fact, the Fates.

The lullaby is a melody that symbolizes birth; a new life. Even in ancient Greek mythology life was influenced by the Fates, Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos. The first represented the present, the second the future and the third the past, all that has happened and cannot be changed.

Lullabies have their own inner strength which can follow a soul on its journey into this world. At the same time lullabies change depending on who is singing them, when the protective force they emit have a different starting point and carry different dreams…

So, based on the melody of the original lullaby, (the dark lullaby of Shakespeare’s witches) which we composed for the play, we intended to create four original lullabies. All five artists involved in this project, had the freedom to create their own lullaby, giving it different meanings each time. Japanese Hattis Noit, Spanish Priscilla Hernandez, British/Portuguese Victoria Couper in collaboration with British/Turkish Reyhan Yusuf and Greek Evi Stergiou, convey through their voices a memory of their own tenderness, strength and hope.

DAEMONIA NYMPHE’s music for the Shakespearean play ‘Macbeth’ composed in 2016 for the National Theatre of Northern Greece, certainly goes beyond the rest of their works, however their own particular style is still evident throughout the album.

One of the compositions that stood out is “Witches’ Lullaby” which, in this new project, serves as an inspiration and a starting point for collaborations with female vocal artists from around the world with whom the band shares the same artistic vision.

Japanese Hatis Noit, Spanish Priscilla Hernandez, British Victoria Couperand Rey Yusuf improvise on the same melody creating an artistic piece that captures their unique interpretation of “Witches’ Lullaby”.

Evi Stergiou, member of DAEMONIA NYMPHE also participates in the project with her own version. Spyros Giasafakis produces the whole work.
