Season THREE, Episode two
In this episode Deandra sits down with singer song-writer Alana Levandoski. Alana has a remarkable way of transforming complex concepts and experiences into songs that speak to your heart and bones. Her recent work, CIANALAS/TÃSKNOTA is being released under a new name MEDIATRI XXX. This Folk Opera resonates deeply with listeners as its story is both our history and our present. Alana, a scholar at heart, has so much to offer and yet they are just breaking the surface in this conversation.
In this episode they discuss:
- Living the life of an artist and mother in a non conventional way
- Her journey in the music industry and her eventual exit
- Her time in a monastery which birthed a new musical path
- Western Mysteries versus state religion
- The importance of nuance in these cultural and political times
- The creation of art without an agenda
- The loss and then the remembering of our stories
- Her Folk Opera: CIANALAS/TÃSKNOTA
