Ak'chamelDerek Monypeny
The mysterious AK'CHAMEL bring their desert-scorched psychedelia, post apocalyptic shamanism, and bizarre ritual folk to Zebulon on March 19th. Pan-desert string player Derek Moneypeny opens the show.
Performing in strange shaman costumes to invoke ritual-like trance with their “other-world” music, Ak’chamel have developed a small but dedicated cult-following over the past decade. Releasing a myriad of limited cassettes, VHS films, and – by now – highly sought-after records.
"Ak'chamel's deliberately lo-fi, murky temple music conjures not only the post-industrial rituals lusting for the pagan days of Druidic Britain but also the pantheistic, impishly playful rhythms from Thai temple music as well as some choice nods to the occult ethnomusicology of their professed influences, The Sun City Girls." –aQuarius RecOrds
Mojave dweller Derek Monypeny sees his musical mission as adding to and expanding on what he calls the "desert continuum;" the psychedelic sirocco swirl of desert-based stringed instruments played with utter abandon by musicians the world over.
