SUMMARY:CANCELLED: Tashi Dorji + Margarida Garcia
LOCATION:AB Salon - zittend (Steenstraat 11\, 1000 Brussel)
DESCRIPTION:As a result of COVID-19\, this concert will be cancelled. \nThank you for your understanding.    Co-organized with\nOorstof/SoundInMotion    Buthanese guitar player Tashi Dorji\nis without any doubt one of the most original improvisors of\nthe moment. His first appearance in the Oorstof series in\n2015 – also his first European concert ever – and the\nfollowing European tour as guest and support of  Godspeed\nYou! Black Emperor was a real triumph. Now Dorji is finaly\nback in Europe for a series of concerts with stops in\nAntwerp (16/4 Het Bos) and Brussels (18/4 AB Salon).   \nDorji took in free improvised music for the first time while\nstudying in the U.S.\, where he still resides. It’s there\nthat Ben Chasny (Six Organs of Admittance) discovered his\nexceptional talent as guitar player and improvisor. Chasney\nstarted the Hermit Hut label in 2014 in order to release\nDorji’s Debut album. Though often compared to legends like\nJohn Fahey or Derek Bailey\, Dorji remains very modest.    \nIn the mean time Dorji also started a series of very\nsuccessful collaborations with a.o. Tyler Damon (Circuit de\nYeux)\, Mette Rasmussen\, C. Spencer Yeh\, Michael Zerang\nand Aki Onda. In February 2020 the fantastic release Purple\nDark Opal by Kuzu will be released on the Aerophonic label.\nKuzu is the prolific trio of Dorji and Damon with Dave\nRempis (Ballister\, From Wolves To Whales). Kuzu will\npresent this release at the end of October in the Oorstof\nseries but first it’s time for Dorji and his inimitable\nsolo guitar excursions that will take us from percussive and\nrhythmic play with a folky and meditative character to\nextreme and in your face soundscapes.    Margarida Garcia\nhas been developing since the mid-nineties a very personal\nand distinct language for electric contrabass. Simple\,\nmelodious\, slow\, subaqueous\, throbbing  and melancholic.\nShe moves well beyond contemporary improv praxis with a coil\nthat runs deep into the contemporary psychedelic\nunderground. Before relocating to  New York in 2004\, \nwhere she lived for seven years and was found regularly\nplaying concerts with Loren Connors and Marcia Bassett\, she\nwas a very present figure in the subterraneous sound of\nLisbon. There\, she met guitarist Manuel Mota\, close\ncollaborator since her musical beginnings.    She\ncollaborated with musicians like Thurston Moore\, David\nMaranha\, Gabriel Ferrandini\, Mattin and Nöel Akchoté\namong others and is active as a visual artist. Since 2014\nshe lives between Lisbon and Antwerp\, where she works\nfrequently with ensemble Graindelavoix\, from Björn\nSchmelzer. In 2016 she was a guest at the Dropa Disc\nFestival wit Manuel Mota and in 2018 she recorded ‘Here\nThey Rest Immobile’\, at the Sound in Motion studio in\nAntwerp\,  a superb trio record with Marcia Bassett and\nManuel Mota for Yew records\, released in 2019.
