Studio Dan

With songs of the speechless, Studio Dan marks the beginning of an artistic intervention in its twentieth year, responding to profound and unsettling global events. A spiral of anti-humanist, anti-liberal, and anti-democratic excesses is accelerating at a terrifying pace. We are speechless. But silence is not an option—music is our expression. It remains with us. And we remain.

songs of the speechless is a response to January 20, 2025—a date that has already proven to be a turning point in 21st-century history. This project is an ever-expanding collection of short and very short compositions, allowing us as an ensemble to raise our musical voice whenever the opportunity arises, in any imaginable instrumental combination. We aim to play these “songs” before and after our official concerts and performances, on and off stage, in both physical and digital public spaces.
