Vocalism, drum and tactile synthesis. Three concerts in the Oratory featuring YL Hooi, Bhairavi Raman, Lyra Pramuk (US/DE), Fabulous Diamonds, Adam Gołębiewski (PL), Eva Birch with J, and Alexandra Spence. Sunday evenings through July at Abbotsford Convent from Liquid Architecture.

Lyra Pramuk (US/DE) fuses classical vocalism, pop sensibilities, performance practices and contemporary club culture in what can best be described as futurist folk music. Composed and arranged entirely from the sound of her own voice, Fountain, her debut on Bedroom Community, was hailed as ‘a potent religious text in praise of human vocality’s promise’ (The Quietus).

Fabulous Diamonds are the long-running (nearly two decades) duo of Nisa Venerosa (voice, percussion) & Jarrod Zlatic (keyboard, digital arrangements). Uneasy and understated chamber songs for the neo-feudal age. While in the past their music has drawn from a wellspring of dubby post-punk and bubblegum-minimalism (with album releases on Siltbreeze, Alter, and Chapter Music) their current approach takes its cues from twentieth century art song and contemporary sound design; tenor vocals and choralesque keyboards play atop sparse, muffled rhythms and ambiguous soundscapes. 

Ritual Community Music with Lyra Pramuk and Fabulous Diamonds is part of On the Road Again, a Victorian Government initiative to bring live music back across the state.
