the twelfth incarnation of the improvisation project 'orchestra379' shall perform live at The Windmill on the 17th December 2026, alongside the band Restless Taxis. With Siren soundtracking the night on the decks before & between the live performances. orchestra379 is an ongoing collective improvisation project, with a fluctuating lineup of artists curated by aloisius for each performance.this twelfth incarnation of the project includes: aloisius, Jasper Maurice, Asha Lorenz, Sean Being & CJ Calderwood. Restless Taxis is a DIY queer and POC-led band formed in East London in 2019. The band name comes from two english worksheets featuring tables of different words Michael picked out in year 9. The band's lineup features Michael Asukyle (vocals, guitar), Jess Nwosu (vocals, bass), Dylan on drums, and Tash (guitar) whose interpretive dance adds a visual dimension to their already immersive performances. After forming in 2019, the band went through multiple lineup changes, with Michael Asukyle as the sole founding member, meeting drummer Dylan Haynes and bassist Jess Nwosu at East London Arts and Music. Throughout the years, the band's sound has progressed from a scuzzy blend of sub pop sludge with ambient overtones into a frenetic experience blending influences from London's squat rave scene with J Mascis' grunge Van Halen guitar heroism and AR Kane's crooning psychedelia. The band has maintained a DIY ethos, pioneering a blend of 90s rock with rave culture through their first event, restless basslines, which took place in Edgware Road underpass on 1st Apr. 2023. They blend UK sound system culture with Dean Blunt's conception of the Post-black male, infusing their Caribbean heritage to create a sound unique to them. Michael coined the term “post-yardie” to encapsulate the unique blend of maximalist UK rave and emo/scene cultures with Caribbean soundsystem and dancehall/ reggae cultures that make up Michael and Dylan's heritage.
