Orchestra of Spheres bandmates Erika Grant and Daniel Beban team up for a special duo concert of gongs and reel-to-reel tapes. Erika is a musician and astrologer based in Te Whanganui-a-Tara. She has 30+ years musical experience in bands including Cookie Brooklyn and the Crumbs. Over the past few years Erika has developed a sound bathing practice using gongs, bowls and chimes. She is interested in the healing properties of sound for mental and physical wellbeing. The sound of Erika's gongs and chimes will be manipulated via Revox reel-to-reel by Daniel Beban. Dan first started experimenting with tape machines as a Studio Manager at the BBC World Service, London. In the downtime during BBC nightshifts he would inhabit the subterranean radio studios, setting up tape loops between multiple reel-to-reels. Often joined in these adventures by UK musician Alexander Tucker as the duo Imbogodom, this work resulted three releases on the Chicago-based label Thrill Jockey.
Opening up is electronic musician Thomas Arbor (aka. Thomas Lambert), a composer, producer and audio engineer living in Pōneke. Thomas runs Sonorous Circle, an Oceanian outlet for adventurous music and art. Previously known under the moniker i.Ryoko, Thomas' assortment of associated projects include Kōtiro, Seth Frightening and Perpetual Balance. He also curates the regular Works for Loudspeakers events.
