A global alliance of musicians join forces for Sound Is Divine, a performance that resonates with the Buddhist philosophy of finding transcendence in sound by creating a meditative experience through music.

Curated by internationally acclaimed instrumentalist and composer Ravish Momin, the concert features traditional instruments in a series of surprising duets—the Indian tabla and African kora, ritual chants and a haunting cello, and Galician gaita and clarinet—performed by artists including Orakel, Muyassar Kurdi, Evan Ziporyn, and Christine Southworth.  Music starts at 9:30pm

The evening also features a free DJ set by DJ Ripley (Dutty Artz) and live electronic percussion with Ravish Momin (Tarana) in the K2 Lounge, open from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Super excited to get an opportunity to open for Filastine & Nova!!

“Barcelona beat producer Grey Filastine and Indonesian neo-soul vocalist Nova Ruth will share their new live AV performance, Drapetomania, in a rare US appearance. Filastine & Nova’s sound collides future bass with traditional Javanese singing, dirty analogue synths, and delicate strings. Spin magazine calls it “bass music for crumbling urban futures,” and Pitchfork says “they sound less like `world’ music and more like music from another world.” Another world is exactly what they aim to create, using sound, video, design, and dance to express a radically different vision of the possible.” http://www.filastine.com/
