Sunday Sessions Presents VALIUM VALENTINE by Andrew Wyatt (of Miike Snow) and Sarah Ortmeyer at MoMa PS1

On February 14th, MoMA PS1 Sunday Sessions presents VALIUM VALENTINE; a collaboration between acclaimed songwriter/producer and Miike Snow lead singer, Andrew Wyatt, and German artist Sarah Ortmeyer.

Throughout the six-hour musical performance Mr. Wyatt is joined by male guest musicians for an improvised durational piece. Creating an emotional peak at the top of every passing hour, female singers each perform a song that Mr. Wyatt has composed especially for the occasion.

Andrew describes how, when writing the songs, “I was pretty much carried by the strength of the atmosphere imagined by Sarah and myself: bizarre, Neverland surroundings and an unseeming cast of characters- all under a ‘starry’ dome.  The music seemingly wrote itself, propelled along by an otherworldly vision which nevertheless carries some kind of humanity.”
