Upcoming: Presentation at ISEA 2010 and the tour of Nusa Tenggara
May 1st, 2010 | Published in Post
The Bali and Lombok tour turned out as expected, it was a good experience and privilege to be able to present such work there, but generally speaking, the populace still seems uninterested in this kind of art. That said, the show will go on, and plans for The Future Sounds Of Folk look pretty exciting as Jonas Sestakresna and I have began planning a research tour on motorbikes and boats cum improv concerts with Bambu Wukir starting from Lombok crossing the Eastern islands of Sumbawa, Sumba, Flores, West Timor before arriving at our final destination in East Timor. This trip plots the return of Wukir’s Frankensteined-sasando to its birthplace in Nusa Tenggara, and of course we plan to improvise with random sasando (as well as other traditional) musicians we meet along the way. Plans are still tentative as finances are running low, no real dates confirmed yet so more details later!
In August, One Man Nation has been invited to perform and present The UnifiedField collective/space and The Future Sounds Of Folk at ISEA Ruhr 2010 in Dortmund. Info + http://www.isea2010ruhr.org/
