Temporary Worlds

Maya’s projects move between music, performance, ritual and interdisciplinary creation. Whether rooted in original music, artistic research or collaborations across disciplines, they invite audiences into immersive worlds shaped by symbolism, transformation and imagination.

Ordo Ritualis

Ordo Ritualis

"In my life, there are rituals I read about in books, learned from someone, and created on my own. But there are also rituals in sound, sonic worlds that tell a story—about our time, about loss, about encounters with the unknown. This album, Ordo Ritualis, is a small collection of these rituals, created by incredible composers: Missy Mazzoli, Bryce Dessner, Martijn Padding, Fjóla Evans, Kaveh Vares, and Heather Pinkham."
