Serenades to come

Overjoyed for the serenades to come throughout the winter months, including some very special support shows.

July 22nd: New Transmissions with Troth and Shoeb Ahmad 

New Transmissions: Experimental music events in nipaluna / Hobart.

Sia Ahmad offers a rich and extensive background in Australian music, creating idiosyncratic sounds over the last decade and more. Using guitar, voice and electronics, she works both as singer/composer and improviser when performing solo work as Shoeb Ahmad.  New Transmissions is a part of Ahmad’s album launch tour, Double Checks Against the Corner:

double checks against the corner builds on what has come before, with curious pairings of field recordings, guitar noise, loops, melodica, processes, programs, samples, percussion, bass and vocals. It makes for some uniquely original arrangements, which Sia ran “through the [electronic] grinder, quite literally in places.” Drums skip on and off beat, below layered string parts repitched from previous records. Electronic and acoustic come together “but not in the avant-garde sense… in a real literal way”. The work is a quiet contemplation on the duality of flux and repetition.

Troth are a duo comprising Amelia Besseny and Cooper Bowman. Their music blurs lines between minimal synth-pop, immersive ambient soundscapes and field recording based sound art. Formerly from Mulubinba / Newcastle this will be their first gig in Tasmania after relocating to Nipaluna / Hobart.
