Movement in Sound - Tengger + Seaming To

Event 4.0 of Season 3.0 Movement in Sound

As part of this year’s Belle Vue Belle Vue Arts Festival theme, ‘Movement’, SY.Gigs is thrilled to present an extraordinary evening of music exploration. Bringing together the Pan-Asian, New-Age drone psychedelic band Tengger and the avant-garde multi-instrumentalist and experimentalist Seaming To family band.

This event promises to push the boundaries of sound and experience. Hosted at the stunning St Alkmund’s Church.

Tengger is a traveling musical family, made up of Pan-Asian couple, Itta (from South Korea) and Marqido (from Japan), who create their brand of psychedelic New-Age drone magic through the use of voice, Indian harmonium, and Toy instruments (played by Itta) and synths & electronics (played by Marqido).Tengger  (meaning ‘unlimited expanse of sky’ in Mongolian) to mark the expansion of the family. It also means ‘huge sea’ in Hungarian.
