CLANDESTINE QUARTET
Alan Bishop (Sun City Girls/Alvarius B)
Richard Bishop (Sun City Girls/Rangda)
Chris Corsano (Flaherty-Corsano/Rangda)
Michael Flower (Vibracathedral Orchestra/Flower-Corsano)
Thirty Three Thirty Three are proud to present the premiere performance from Clandestine Quartet, a band which includes brothers Alan and Richard Bishop – formerly of Sun City Girls, one of the most fiercely independent, challenging and totally unpredictable bands to have operated outside of the mainstream. Sun City Girls embraced and subverted styles and tropes from various genres and cultures, creating a blend of deranged surf, Eastern-but-not-Eastern free improvisation, stateless folk, avant-mysticism and whatever...Senyawa
Jogjakarta’s Senyawa embodies the aural elements of traditional Indonesian music whilst exploring the framework of experimental music practice, pushing the boundaries of both traditions. Their music strikes a perfect balance between their avant-garde influences and cultural heritage to create truly contemporary Indonesian new music. Their sound is comprised of Rully Shabara’s deft extended vocal techniques punctuating the frenetic sounds of instrument builder, Wukir Suryadi’s modern-primitive instrumentation. Inventions like his handcrafted ‘Bamboo Spear’; a thick stem of bamboo strung up with percussive strips of the animal skin along side steel strings. Amplified it fuses elements of traditional Indonesian instrumentation with garage guitar distortion. Sonically dynamic, the instrument can be rhythmically percussive on one side whilst being melodically bowed and plucked on the other. Their next album is due to be released in early 2017 with Pioneer Works, Brooklyn USA.
