SATURDAY 5TH OCTOBER | 7PM | £12 / £8 / PWYC
A night of eclectic experimental sounds from the global majority ! From bass heavy barbadian songscapes to electro acoustic Oud compositions routed in the middle east and visceral nu punk flavours . Plus Q 'N 'A and phatty DJ set to end the night !
With support from Arts Council England we are running a new event series called re / shape / sound with guest curator and Rose Hill label artist I am Fya. This programme is dedicated to championing global majority artists in the experimental music scene and being part of the movement to readdress the stereotypes associated with it.
Behind the scenes, re / shape / sound is a team of three black and brown women two-thirds of whom are from the LGBTQIA+ community. Guest curator I Am Fya, Rose Hill creative director + artist Kassia Zermon and musician/producer Raevennan Husbandes. To accompany these live events, we will be producing radio broadcasts featuring live re / shape / sound performances, Q&A's and more.
Organisers say “We want to document the series to chronicle our story as a community and feed into our cultural history for future generations.”
I AM FYA
I Am Fya is an experimental multidisciplinary artist from Manchester, UK.With the SP404Mk2 sampler and loop station as her creative companions, she creates music from field recordings of everyday sounds. Her recent work collects sounds and visuals from her homeland, Barbados. It focuses on identity, culture, spiritual connections to land and ancestors, radical self-love, the power of chosen family, otherness, and acceptance.
Known for her explosive club performances, I Am Fya debuted at Burning Man’s sister festival, Nowhere, in the Monegro Desert in 2010, and has since performed at major festivals including Glastonbury (The Sistxrhood), Shambala (The Sanqtuary) and Bestival. She has collaborated with queer-led production company, Marlborough Productions and independent artist-led venue, The Rosehill and is part of Brighton based, Afro-Futurist performance collective, Brownton Abbey. I Am Fya is an Arts Council England funded artist and is a board member of Outlands Network.
KAREEM SAMARA
Kareem Samara is multi instrumentalist and composer from London. His work focuses on the electro acoustic possibilities of the Oud and arabic music. A founding member of Raast Collective, Kareem Samara has become known as a versatile Oud player and Guitarist.
NO HOME
London - based solo musician CHarlie Valentine aka NO HOME is the definition of experimental and one of a kind! Their most recent album, ‘Fucking Hell’, has been named one of the ‘The 35 Best Rock Albums of 2020’ by Pitchfork, and each song on it is a unique manifestation of their individuality. Their style pushes all boundaries of genre, their vocals are mystifying, and their sound is noisy and industrial.
