about

"We Were Never One" is the new album of The Star Pillow, whose last release dates back to 2019 with "Music For
Sad Headbangers" (Midira Records). This last album is the original soundtrack composed for the homonymous
contemporary dance performance by the austrian choreographer Karin Pauer with whom Paolo Monti has already
collaborated for the performance "this is where we draw the line“ which premiered at the Donau Festival/ Krems
2019 and was performed in Romania, Austria and Italy.
The tracks follow a precise and cinematic script of the piece in which four performers, one musician and a visual artist
create a cycle of metamorphoses that invites the audience to become aware of the interconnectedness of our species
with the world around us. In “We Were Never One“ this realization turns into text, embodied thoughts, hybrid objects,
haunted landscapes and sounds of extinction.
The visual artist Aldo Giannotti took care of the cover art and the album design.
We Were Never One will be released on April 8th 2022, the day of the performance's premiere, (follow-up shows on
9th/12th/13th/14th April) at Brut, Wien.
