Gamelan is one of the ancient music traditions of the world. In Solo,
it’s still a part of everyday life and an important cultural custom. A
complex wonder of human invention, it comes from a timeless world of
aural tradition, contemplation, and relaxed living. These films capture
the essence of the gamelan tradition, in the context of the changing
modern world. Come and experience Java and feel what it’s like to be
lost in a world of history.

A NIGHT OF SUBLIME FREQUENCIES Feat. Alvarius B. (Alan Bishop) LIVE and 2 Films By Hisham Mayet

AUGUST 6 - 7:30 PM

611 N Fairfax Avenue, Los Angeles 90036
(323) 655-2510
A night celebrating one of the most unique record labels ever: SUBLIME FREQUENCIES, a collective of explorers recording obscure sights and sounds from traditional urban and rural frontiers all over the world including field recordings, international folk and pop music, sound anomalies, and other forms of human and natural expression. Join us for an evening featuring two new films directed by label co-founder Hisham Mayet (appearing in person) plus a live performance by “Alvarius B”, the alter ego of label co-founder Alan Bishop of Sun City Girls! Join us for this night of celebratory music, followed by a party on the Spanish patio with hot tea, African snacks and Sublime Frequencies DJs spinning rare and beautiful tunes from around the world!
THE MUSIC:
Alan Bishop (aka Alvarius B) is a founding member of Seattle’s avant-garde and genre-defying Sun City Girls, whose career spans 27 years and over fifty releases. From their telepathic free jazz/post rock psychedelic trio roots, to gorgeous outer-national Arabic and Asian inspired folk music, Sun City Girls performances were wildly unpredictable, sometimes verging on performance art, with elaborate costumes, kabuki-inspired makeup, and the creation of a festive, ritualistic atmosphere with audience participation. As Alvarius B, Bishop has penned hundreds of his own original folk songs in a primitive “out” style informed by an obsessive love of psychedelic rock, free jazz, exotic music from beyond borders, Italian film soundtracks, and an extraordinary sense of humor. Join us for this special one-night-only live performance.
