🌘 GERHANA AT THE DOME 🌖
At The Dome of Mission to Seafarers, Gerhana presents three live acts that bring visibility to the invisible architecture of time, ancestry, loss, and continuity through sound. This event invites you to make collective noise, and listen to the experimental sounds of the diaspora that have been shaped by Country, relationship and movement.
Come and listen to; Ria Soemardjo’s haunting vocal style and mesmerising soundscapes reflecting Javanese and Balinese gamelan tradition. In collaboration with Keshav Yoganathan whose percussion is shaped by improvisation, years of dedicated Carnatic music study and his Eelam Tamil heritage. Together, they open the dome with mesmerising rhythmic cycles involving voice, percussion, gongs and tabla.
Excited State!!! Led by DJ and curator Kavil Patel, in collaboration with powerhouse drummers Rama Parwata (KILAT, Whitehorse and Rinuwat) and Rohan Rebeiro (MY DISCO). In play, the trio explores the potential of recorded music and possibilities for its improvisation, invocation and collapse.
Sundialll (ID/TW) is an alternative music group blending electronica, sludge, techno, and pan-Asia folk vocal and instrumentation. Based in Indonesia and Taiwan, Rama Saputra and Alica Han have released works with diverse styles and approaches.
