Dijkconcert: Sontag Shogun

Wednesday, September 11th, 20.30h

De Ruimte is proud to announce that we have booked the Brooklyn band Sontag Shogun on the ominous date of September 11th. The band describes its own sound best:

Sontag Shogun is an ambient, electronic piano trio comprised of former members from [the] slowest runner [in all the world]. Pooling their influences from modern classical, improvised and ambient musical spheres, they create longform shape-shifting compositions that are at times lush and melodic as well as textural and unpredictable. They have improvised with artists as diverse as Matana Roberts, Tom Carter, Aki Onda as well as a collective of Japanese contemporary video artists. Sontag Shogun performs alongside black and white video-loop collages from films and archival footage, embracing the evocative and emotive nature of their melodic textures. They make music to dream away to, or from. 

This promises to be an intense evening that we’re really looking forward to!
