CR x Moonshoe Pres Laraaji, Yu Su +

This April 5th, Crown Ruler and Moonshoe connect to present an evening of live, otherworldly sounds at City Recital Hall on Gadigal Land. 

The event is spearheading forerunners of sonic exploration NYC-based Laraaji and Vancouver-based Yu Su, with local acts Tunnel Dancers (Hugh B & Cousin) and Monica Brooks in support. 

Laraaji, a masterful musician brought into recognition partly by Brian Eno, is known for weaving intricate melodies with the piano, zither and mbira. He uses his developed improvisatory and meditative performing techniques, inspired by the spiritual traditions of South and Southeast Asia, to create a profound fusion of music and spirituality. 

Yu Su’s expansive repertoire of ‘fourth world’ ambience and left-field dance music is in tune with Laraaji’s, with emotion-packed compositional punches at the forefront of her groovy jazz-bient expeditions. 

As for local touches, the duo of Hugh B & Cousin, Tunnel Dancers, swing freestyle, beatless instrumental soundscapes into tranquil interludes - inviting you to lose yourself in their musical improvisatory expression. And rounding off the lineup is Monica Brooks, who has spent the last 20 years honing in on improvisation as a compositional methodology, occupied by belonging, landscapes, loss and love.

We acknowledge the Gadigal people as the traditional custodians of the land on which this event will be held. We pay our respects to their Elders past and present; their culture and language; and their ongoing resistance against colonialism since 1788. Always Was, Always Will Be.
