ZAÄAR + Nàresh Ran + Gabriele Gasparotti + schoco mune

On Sunday 23rd February, Thurifer Promotions presents a night of occult experimental music ZAÄAR ZAÄAR play a form of psychedelic free jazz that is deeply hypnotising. Their ritualistic energy reawakens feelings long forgotten. Imagine being taken back to a time when everything still had to be discovered and humans wandered through a world filled with excitement and danger! The twin project of Neptunian Maximalism is finally coming to Amsterdam, soon after the release of their new album Ovules. Be prepared to enter the world of magic! Nàresh Ran Nàresh Ran, who also runs the label Dio Drone, is bringing his intense and tormenting ambient music to Amsterdam. While his previous works made extensive use of field recordings, his new album Praesens relies on a more intimate and darker formula of synths and vocals. His music deals with fragility and regret, with the memories that haunt us and keep us captive. But for Nàresh “Praesens is the way I found to deal with my demons and finally let them go” Gabriele Gasparotti Gabriele Gasparotti has just released Tropismi, a collection of compositions that make use of string instruments, synths and field recordings (to name but a few) to create highly dynamic and captivating harmonies. At the heart of this work is the idea that music interacts with the space around it, and is led by it into unexpected territories. So, like a living organism, music is driven by the very “engine of existence and of expansion of the Universe”. schoco mune schoco mune delivers explosive noise music with a strong focus on physicality and action. Frequently collaborating with artists from other disciplines (poetry, butoh, …), schoco mune makes music that carries a sense of urgency. It is a powerful sound with extreme textures.
