Acclaimed rock band The National's twin brothers Bryce and Aaron Dessner conceived The Long Count in collaboration with video artist Matthew Ritchie as a multimedia concert, which explores the ?time before time'; the indivisible moment before creation is expressed. Inspired by the ?hero twins' of the Mayan creation myth contained in the Popol Vuh - of which the Long Count calendar is an important part - the show presents a mythical song cycle of subtly interweaving guitars, solemn a capella, layered sound structures and scintillating rock.
