MoAW presents Percussion + FX /w TRUCS, Joss Turnbull, Krishna Sutedja Address : NASHAZ, Rue Picard 3, 1000, Brussels Tickets - 13 euros OTD Doors - 16 Sep at 19:30 TRUCS - Amplified drums / Experimental / Minimalist The bells worn around the neck by the animals in a herd are tuned to each other. They are selected and organized to create a living orchestra with its own signature sound. But is it really music? Alexis Toussaint & Romain Colautti explore these cultural and heritage objects in TRUCS. They exploit their musicality without forgetting their symbolic significance. In form, the project revolves around two prepared drums, two string tambourines, two sets of bells on the feet and suspended in the air for each of the musicians, as well. All these elements are treated by electronic devices to create different spaces for the instruments, and to give a harmonic dimension to the percussion. Joss Turnbull - Improvisation / Sound art / FX Joss Turnbull is a percussionist who uses rhythmic dynamics to evoke a sense of vertigo and vibrant vastness. His work unfolds at the intersection of Southwest Asian percussion, experimental improvisation, and contemporary sound art. The Persian Tombak is electrified and becomes the lead voice of a percussive symphony, shaping a tension in constant growth and dissolution. Using rubber balls, tremolo sticks, foils, voice, breath, and live sampling, he creates acoustic spaces that are simultaneously minimalist and overwhelming. Krishna Sutedja - Gamelan / Experimental / FX Krishna Sutedja is a Balinese composer, performer, and educator based in Brussels, working at the intersection of Balinese gamelan, contemporary composition, and electronic music. Through performance, composition, and education, he is dedicated to expanding the international presence of Indonesian musical traditions while creating new intercultural works rooted in Balinese aesthetics Artwork by Andrea de Franco
