Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Sell out warning! Celestial music’s principal earthly acolyte, Laraaji’s astral ambient revelations, devotional drones and cosmic zither sermons cascade with inner light and zen laughter. It’s an iconic sound bath FFO: Brian Eno, Alice Coltrane, Beverly Glenn-Copeland, Arthur Russell, Mary Lattimore. "

Strange Brew presents
Laraaji LIVE
+ ãssia ghendir
+ Dan Thorman
Monday 28th April
Seated show!
7pm - 10pm
Based in New York City, Laraaji began playing music on the streets in the 1970s, improvising trance-inducing jams on a modified autoharp processed through various electronic effects. Influential British musician and record producer Brian Eno saw him playing one night in Washington Square Park and invited him to record an album of ambient music at his studio. Laraaji went on to release a prolific series of albums for a wide variety of labels, many of which he recorded himself at home and sold as cassettes during his street performances. In recent years his profile has enjoyed a renaissance via a series of new and reissued recordings on the All Saints label, as well as worldwide performances, laughter meditation workshops and deep listening sessions.
ãssia ghendir is a musician, performance artist and somatic practitioner with a research-driven practice, exploring the parallel and dialogue between geological movements and somatic movements. Rooted in ancient vocalizations and rite of passage practices, ãssia’s vocal work is a precise attunement through pre-verbal incantations that tells of numinous landscapes, human emotions and its malleability.
Opening the night will be Bristol ambient ambassador Dan Thorman performing a live improvised set on synth and guitar.
Entry requirements: 14+, any under 18s accompanied by 21+ adult 1:1 ratio
