Coming off the heels of their musical theater extravaganza Our Breath is as Thin as a Hummingbird's Spine in collaboration with Sleepytime Gorilla Museum vocalist Nils Frykdahl and physical theater company inkBoat, Nanos Operetta is back again in the trenches. The ensemble just completed recording 3 tracks with mathcore icons The Dillinger Escape Plan for their upcoming record Ire Works (Relapse), due out November 13.

Nanos Operetta is hard at work composing a new commission by the Kronos Quartet for the quartet and Korean vocalist/percussionist Dohee Lee. Taking inspiration from Korean pansori music through the prism of composer Ennio Morricone’s early works, the 10-minute piece is set for completion by the end of 2007.

Nanos Operetta will be collaborating with German vocalist/conceptualist Blixa Bargeld (Einstürzende Neubaten, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds) and experimental dance theater company KUNST-STOFF for The Execution of Precious Memories. The performances will take place in San Francisco and Los Angeles in 2008.

Nanos Operetta is completing the arrangement, text, and recording of their musical odyssey and major studio recording 'Til the Sun Dries Our Eyes. The recording is scheduled for release in spring of 2008 and will feature many special guests!
