Musical Alaska #20 Curated by Rainbow Chan
Weird up your Sunday afternoon, one Rainbow Chan-devised Japanese post-punk arrangement at a time.
Overview
Underground Japanese post-punk and semi-improvised Rainbow Chan on a feedback loop in the depths of Alaska Projects' Kings Cross carpark is probably the soundtrack you need to change up that otherwise-surely-dull Sunday afternoon. That's what's on offer at Musical Alaska #20, the next in a series of experimental music events from Sydney's favourite artist-run initiative.
The Musical Alaska series involves an ever-evolving ensemble of local musicians come together under the guise of the Alaska Orchestra. It gives them a chance to experiment and people a chance to open their ears and minds to things they've never heard before. Chan, the classically trained saxophonist and electropop artist who has become a fixture of the Sydney music scene, is curating #20, and word is that the evening will be an exploration of the 'Fourth World' of music — imaginative, hybridised world music dealing with cross-cultural identity and going beyond ideas of the First and Third Worlds.
Expect Rainbow Chan arrangements of that '80s Japanese post-punk we mentioned, a specially commissioned set of her own, and nothing traditional.
