گردن (Gardan)
An audiovisual collab from xodkaar x No Cosmos
Discordia does not, it turns out, hate everything. Every other week, we share a piece of new or gently-used work from an artist who's earned our respect.
There is art that moves us, and there is art that moves with us. This is Fellow Travellers.
"گردن (Gardan)"
Text and vocals by xodkaar (IG)
Produced and mixed by No Cosmos (Bandcamp)
Ed. Note: "گردن (Gardan)" was originally presented at a One-Off poetry show in October 2024 in Montreal. Discordia is pleased to share the piece with a wider (and infinitely more depraved) audience.
xodkaar (Shima Ra'eesi) is a Middle Eastern artist and student based in Toronto. Their practice ranges across food, poetry, video, sound, visual, and performance arts.
Scott Bevins is a trumpeter, producer, and composer based in Montreal. His musical output as No Cosmos combines experimentalism and emotional immediacy, drawing from free jazz, ambient, and underground electronic music. 
Interested in being a Fellow Traveller? Email your poetry, prose, visual art, etc. to discordia.sucks@gmail.com. We pay (not much), and pieces are collected a few times a year in a small print edition.
