Tuesday March 18th - Mists of Ba'al and Astarte Composer/pianist/improvisor John Kameel Farah has focused on merging modern classical, jazz, free improvisation and Middle-Eastern music in electronica/techno collages. His live electronic performances consist of improvising/meditating on keyboard shapes alongside a bed of samples & laptop sequences. Sometimes with beat and sometimes without, he draws upon a rich harmonic vocabulary, colliding his disparate influences in endless combinations, shapes, forms. To open the night, John will be joined by ambient/experimental cellist/loopist cheryl o for a set of improvisations.

At times dark and textured, V/Vm creates an emotive climate inspiring contemplation & meditation. At other times the sounds are playful and light, but skewed as if through funhouse mirrors, a twisted take on the familiar. What else can I say? I love it!
