Mira was a trans-cultural musical collaboration initiated by Martin Gordon[1] and Peter Culshaw in 1995.
Martin Gordon is well-known through his pop pedigree and his involvement with Sparks, Jet, Radio Stars, John's Children and assorted others.
Gordon and Culshaw then developed material for a live stage show ('New Hope for the Dead', choreographed by Joseph Houseal[3]) that was performed at the Place Theatre, London, and which featured dancers, trapeze artists, martial arts performers and computer graphics.
Mira's sole CD New Hope For The Dead,[4][5] made an appearance in the World Music Chart Europe.
[citation needed] The band performed at the 1997 Montreux Jazz Festival and disbanded later the same year.
