A fantastic show is coming up with instrument inventor and improviser Sung Kim<\/strong> (plus co-conspirators Hare & Arrow<\/strong>) & fellow TYG-er David Samas<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Come 7:30-9:30 for a very special house concert at Turquoise Yantra Grotto<\/strong> (see below for venue).\u00a0Candlelit tea service in inner courtyard at 7pm and again during intermission.<\/p>\n

Master woodworker Sung Kim<\/strong> (http:\/\/www.skwoodworkdesign.com<\/a>\/) has carved out a unique space as an instrument inventor, including Gigantar, Sympathetic Canon, The Fawn, 2-pole Nariners Trumpet, etc.<\/p>\n

and more photos at end of post.<\/p>\n

Those who\u2019ve seen his recent performances @ Luggage Store, MamaBuzz, SIMM Series, Outsound Music Festival can attest to the passion and focus with which Sung brings these new instruments to life and his strong commitment to improv.<\/p>\n

TYG-Host David Samas<\/strong> will introduce both sets with short pieces based on the techniques of \u0425\u04e9\u04e9\u043c\u0435\u0439 (Tuvan throat\/overtone singing), Inuit vocal competitions, hurdy-gurdy tunes, etc.<\/p>\n

In set 1, David S. & I will join forces with our guests, combining throat singing, gamelan piano, zen carillon, and neo-Central-Asian fiddles in to showcase the high plains sound of the 23rd-century Mongolian Mars Colony.<\/p>\n

Set 2 will be Hare & Arrow<\/strong>: Sung Kim plus Dave Dupuis on Mariners Trumpet (18v Tromba Marina). Sung & Dave will take you to a musical space you’ve not experienced with their unique combination of invented \/ transmigrated stringed instruments (photos below).<\/p>\n

During the tea intermission I\u2019ll play a South Indian \u201cRTP\u201d (ragam-tanam-pallavi) using a non-traditional raga: the \u201cAll Interval Hexachord<\/em>\u201d from 20th-C modernist music (recorded in another version on my recent album Turquoise Sessions<\/strong>, available at the show).<\/p>\n

Turquoise Yantra Grotto,<\/strong> is a unique space near Glen Park in San Francisco offering, in addition to a normal piano, site-specific invented instruments like the gamelan piano and zen industrial carillon \u2014 a cozy laboratory to explore the world chamber music of the future in an unexpected dialog between global roots traditions and modernist music.<\/p>\n

As usual, on hand will be a shamanic healer and a neo-tea practitioner (our hosts) to facilitate your listening experience.<\/p>\n

Planning continues for Wayang Turquoise puppet opera accompanied by the gamelan piano in the new year.<\/p>\n

A scene like\u00a0nowhere<\/em> else.<\/p>\n

Due to limited seating, by advance reservation only<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

To reserve, send me an email at\u00a0joe@joelasqo.com, and I\u2019ll confirm and send location and details.<\/p>\n

Warmly hope to see you at these special shows!<\/p>\n

Joe<\/p>\n
