Description
Flower Of Sulphur is a transfixing piece of continuous improvisation from
three experimental luminaries: multi-instrumentalist YoshimiO (Boredoms,
OOIOO, SAICOBAB), internationally acclaimed percussionist Susie Ibarra and
artist Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe (Lichens). ? In addition to her work in Boredoms and OOIOO, YoshimiO recently
released an album with her modern Indian raga quartet SAICOBAB as the
groups vocalist and has released collaborative albums with Mats Gustafsson,
Jim ORourke and Kim Gordon (ex-Sonic Youth). ? Susie Ibarra is one of the most significant female percussionists and
composers of our time, known for her work as a performer within
contemporary, avant-garde, jazz, classical and world music. Ibarra has
studied with free jazz greats Earl Buster Smith and Milford Graves, as well as
Philippine Kulintang gong-chime music with Danongan Kalanduyan. Ibarra
has worked with the likes of John Zorn, Dave Douglas, Marc Ribot, Yuka
Honda and many more. Ibarras most recent album, Perception, was
praised by the New York Times. ? Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe has recently contributed music to the Jóhann
Jóhannsson scored films Sicario and Arrival and is curating an exhibition at
the Museum of Arts and Design in Manhattan. Lowe is also known for his
work as Lichens and as a member of Om. In September 2017 Lowe was
featured on the cover of The Wire. ? The trios jaw dropping performance was recorded in December 2016 at
Roulette in Brooklyn. Flower of Sulphur documents a singular evening of
exquisite sound and exceptional performance. Absolutely an essential album,
pristinely recorded, and capturing a rare performance. A must have for any
fans of creative innovation and improvisation. ? The trio are hoping to make additional live performances throughout 2018. ? In the seemingly impenetrable, fantastic murkiness of Japanese
experimental psych pop, more often than not, Yoshimi has been a beacon.
