Also performing on this special bill are Jessika Kenney and Eyvind Kang. Releasing deep, elemental records which invoke the spirits and carefully studied scales and techniques of multiple musical traditions, together they produce ‘"work of delicate beauty, as pristine as the surface of a lake at dawn on a summer's morning," (The Quietus).
