Performers(‘) Present 2023: Flow States
26 October • 9:00pm
Conservatory Orchestra Hall
ABOUT THIS EVENT
This improvisation concert is a meeting of musical cultures and genres. Karst de Jong plays for the first time in concert with Shugorei, a highly adventurous duo from Brisbane. Shugorei features a lively combination of percussion and electronics, mingling bricolage, found sounds and extended techniques with sample-mangling and exotic sound synthesis, all bound together with elemental melodic shapes and driving rhythms. Expanded with the piano and electronics of Karst de Jong, the trio explores various Flow States, blurring boundaries between electronic and acoustic sounds in spontaneous and pre-conceived improvisations, mixing diverse and contrasting musical influences.
About the Performers
Shugorei is a sparkling, invigorating, highly adventurous music duo featuring live percussion and electronics, with key performers Nozomi Omote and Thomas Green, often augmented by a selection of classical instruments and guests. Combining unusually diverse influence including IDM and classical music, Shugorei is uniquely, distinctly vivacious. Vibraphone, digital samples, analogue synthesis, drums and bricolage come together in painstakingly composed and improvised instrumental works. Additionally, Shugorei has a cross-cultural aspect; Nozomi Omote explores a melding of Western musicianship with her Japanese background. Likewise, Thomas Green’s music draws on a globe-spanning array of influence.
