Gallivant (LP)
This LP is a document of a live concert from the duo of crys cole & Oren Ambarchi, recorded Feb 16, 2020 in Nanaimo, BC, Canada."My own first experience with the music of Oren Ambarchi reaches way back into his pre-history, when he was a young, Sydney-based noise freak, playing drums or guitar in bands like Phlegm or the Menstruation Sisters. Oren began to show his Apollonian bent when he released the first volume of his Stacte series in '98, but re-stoked his Dionysian side by undertaking a par…

On oud (an instrument most often associated with traditional music of Northern African and Western…
