Phantasmagoria
Corey Mwamba presents improvised music blurring the lines between worlds - ancient to future, physical and dream, outer space and inner imaginaries.
Corey Mwamba presents improvised music blurring the lines between worlds.
Led by the indomitable Marshall Allen, we hear a futuristic refashioning of an old myth: The Gordian Knot, a tale stretching back to Alexander the Great, and describing human creativity to overcome a seemingly insurmountable obstacle. Through an ancient-to-future soundscape of flute, shamanic drums, electronic synths and spoken word, this bold quartet unleash an enchanting world of possibility and hope.
In Mexico, the long circular breaths of flautist Camilo Γngeles meet the focused study of Violeta GarcΓaβs cello to create an intoxicating atmosphere, blurring the lines between the corporeal and dream worlds. Elsewhere, saxophonist Ayumi Ishito pulls listeners into an interstellar imaginary. Gauzy layers of electronic experimentation bubble and blink like living organisms, whilst a whistling theremin offers a heady backdrop of ambient escape.
