Floating Points & San Francisco Ballet Orchestra - Mere Mortals

With Mere Mortals, Floating Points (Sam Shepherd) steps away from the nightclub and onto the ballet stage, presenting a striking reinterpretation of the Greek myth of Pandora. His debut ballet score reimagines Pandora as a symbol of curiosity, transformation, and the consequences of human innovation. The music tells the story of Pandora's Box through the lens of the technological age, connecting an ancient myth to the challenges of the modern world. Exploring timeless philosophical questions through the contemporary theme of artificial intelligence, Mere Mortals examines both the promise and the peril of humanity venturing into uncharted territory. Richly textured and emotionally compelling, the score showcases another fascinating dimension of Floating Points' ever-evolving musical vision.
