Medieval psych rock and hellhounds on the loose
Jennifer Lucy Allan presents adventurous explorations in sound, from Tashi Dorji鈥檚 new guitar experiments to a local fable reimagined by a children鈥檚 improvising orchestra.
Jennifer Lucy Allan presents your weekly dose of adventurous explorations in sound. There鈥檒l be a union of European medieval music with psychedelic rock courtesy of Reimaki, the Japanese duo of Maki Miura - an icon in Japanese rock, psych, and noise circles - and Rei Yokoyama (Triggers Flowers, Stakaidan, Lapiz Trio); plus new iterative guitar experiments from the prolific Bhutanese-born, North Carolina-based Tashi Dorji; and an improvising orchestra of 7-10-year-olds offer a sonic reimagining of a local Todmorton fable about a group of hellhounds who embark upon a wild hunt around the Upper Calder Valley. 鈥淢onstrous human-headed dogs, who traverse the air, and are often heard although seldom seen,鈥 is how the folklorist William Henderson described them in 1879.
