Their album was recorded at Indrė’s home with kanklės, txompe and violin.

_ merges progressive jungle house, trance, and the subtle breath of nature into journeys that attempt to mimic life. Shifting in color, depth but most emportantly emotion using both vulnarable and powerfull music. Each set is an exploration, a narrative told through basslines and atmospheres, crafted to move both body and mind.

TOMORROW AT PILAR //

The music of ’s The Separatist Party draws upon a raft of influences, weaving together varied traditions and practices within a groove-oriented attack to forge something entirely new. One can glean wisps of Don Cherry’s Organic Music conception, the ecstatic fire of Pharoah Sanders, the cycling minimalism of Terry Riley, the motoric rhythms of Krautrock, the exploratory tones of Sun Ra, and clipped soul of vintage Ethiopian music within the Separatist Party’s music, but no single element arrives wholesale. Rather, the musicians have melded and transformed ideas from around the globe and across decades into a propulsive brew that says plenty about the turbulent era we find ourselves in, turning to the healing power of music to unite us, if only for a short while.

// 23 JUN at PILAR //

Chicago’s Bitchin’ Bajas is the project of Cooper Crain, Dan Quinlivan and Rob Frye. Using a combination of synthesizers, reeds and woodwinds, the trio weave technicolor tapestries with melodic grooves, hypnotic rhythms and bubbling electronics. Based around the concentric layering of repeating patterns, Bajas’ compositions stretch out into expansive explorations of time and structure (Dismal Niche).
