Indie rockband The National’s twin brothers Bryce and Aaron Dessner conceived The Long Count in collaboration with video artist Matthew Ritchie as a multimedia concert in which time before time, the indivisible moment before creation is expressed. Inspired by the mythological history of the Popol Vuh, of which the Long Count calendar is an important part, they connect this Mayan creation myth with their own lives. Against a kaleidoscopic background of video projections the brothers team up with a twelve-strong orchestra, singers Shara Worden, Kelley Deal and the National’s Matt Berninger to present a mythical song cycle of subtly interweaving guitars, solemn a capella, layered sound structures and scintillating rock.
