NPNP JAIRUS SAHRIF WITH BEYOND HORIZON
NPNP and Jairus Sharif with Beyond Horizon perform at DunnEnzies Downtown as part of the Skin And Bones Music Series on April 8th. Doors open at 7:30 pm and the concert will begin at 8:00 pm. DunnEnzies Downtown is located at 1559 Ellis Street in Kelowna. Admission is $15 or $10 for students and Alternator members. Tickets can also be purchased at the door. This concert is made possible through the partnership between the Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art and the Inner Fish Theatre Society. The Inner Fish Theatre Society produces Kelowna’s annual Living Things International Arts Festival, and remains frequent collaborators with both the Alternator and Skin And Bones.
Calgary based Jairus Sharif is a self-taught saxophonist who uses abstraction, tempered by a meditative focus and tranquility, to forge connections between free jazz, folk traditions, and hip-hop mysticism. NPNP is the solo alias of Montreal based multi-media artist Jackson Darby. Under this name he trudges through various styles with an emphasis on intangible forms realized through modular synth explorations and advanced recording techniques. The duo will be playing live renditions of music from their individual solo records: Harmony in a Vacuum – NPNP (Halocline Trance) and Basis of Unity – Jairus Sharif (Telephone Explosion).
Also on the bill is Kelowna’s Beyond Horizon. Consisting of Theresa Bishop and Corey Bornau, both previously of the band Meteor Tree. Beyond Horizon is a meditative accumulation of everything that they have learned and everything that they are still learning.
