The Fall of Metatron

With Mythoplaxy, MIRA新伝統 present a departure from both the tropes of dystopian club acceleration and the conventions of gallery-coded performance. Across stage and studio, the duo have cultivated a performative language that fuses Shinto-derived ritual with the communal, itinerant traditions of popular theatre and mythic storytelling—echoing forms from ancient satyr plays to medieval cycles—set against the spectral terrains of post–techno-capital collapse.

The album comprises eleven sonic tales—ranging from electronic ballads to mythogenic fragments—conceived as the rudiments of a symbolic architecture. Each piece invites listeners to imagine the myths and ruins we might forge and choose to carry from this world into the next, echoing the propositions of Italian philosopher Federico Campagna.

Accompanying the release, the video for The Fall of Metatron introduces Lambdochian, a script devised by the duo from lambda-calculus diagrams and Lojban phonetics. Conceived as a poetic instrument, Lambdochian operates in the tradition of Egyptian hieroglyphs as opposed to demotic: not a vehicle for everyday writing, but a sacred medium for myth, ritual, and transmission.
