THE SHOW
MAMAKU’s compelling new show Twigs of Gold offers a wide emotional spectrum, drawing on trip-hop, quirky grooves, poetry and chanson. The lush sound palette, organically electronic, carries evocative multi-lingual vocals, playful loops and rhythmic word. Cinematic layers of altered guitar, flesh out the driving analog-synth bass lines that syncopate with stirring beats. Woodwinds adorn the compositions with luminous lines, harmonies and inspired improvisation.
Live-art projections by Lupavision (aka Paul Bradley) transport the viewer into a hypnotic saltimbanque aesthetic, delivering a dynamic journey through themes of circus, freedom, cross-cultural identity, ecology and transformation. Dark yet playful, contemplative yet dynamic, a kind of grit-and-honey music that will make you move, this show and it’s accompanying album, indebted to Aotearoa/NZ's soil and sea, carry songs of the moment with a truly global sensitivity.
Featuring: Tui Mamaki on vocals, Monsieur E. on bass synthesisers and keyboards, Gareth Priceless on guitar, Asher Truppman-Lattie on woodwinds (or Finn Scholes on Trumpet), Peter Ruddell on saxophone, Ryan Carroll on drums, Mathew Sephton on sound, and Lupavision (Paul Bradley) on live art projections.
Not to be missed.
