Corona Catharsis

2020 - 2021. A world consumed by a global pandemic. Humanity is locked in and isolated. Mass burials, masks, gloves, disinfectants, social distancing, statistics of infections, hospitalization and the deceased, desolate urban and rural landscapes are all over the media. The initial shock and fear evovle into anger, frustration, mistrust, conspiracy theories, racism, poverty and politics that fuel global demonstrations and violence. Leading pharmaceutical companies claim they'll stop the pandemic and save humanity. Under the "Trailerhead" label Yoav Goren created an album of new compositions inspired by this historic experience. 8 composers explore a wide range of impressions in several corners of the world. For its soundtrack, the film "Corona Catharsis" uses the first and last tracks of the album to capture a wide range of emotions and reactions that these tumultuous two years have ingrained in us all.
