Pre & post show global grooves provided by DJ Tom Harvey with surprise performances, cirkus shenanigans and special guests TBA. A fundraiser for the new Sanctuary Cultural Arts Center (opening soon) http://ow.ly/Hsym300jaq1Filastine’s compositions fuse contemporary electronic beats with concrete sounds, voices, percussion, and acoustic strings. This is future bass music from a future where the globe has been flipped, the sonic territories remixed, and syncopated mid-eastern rhythms and asian melodies shape a new urban sound.http://www.filastine.com/video
Filastine is the duo of composer/director Grey Filastine and vocalist/designer Nova Ruth. Before starting
Filastine in 2006, Grey was part of the insurrectionary marching band Infernal Noise Brigade ( https://youtu.be/11sr2Q7OaHQ ) and revolutionary west coast noise makers !Tchkung! ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcMZq7Uih90). He spent much
of his life recording soundscapes & studying rhythm across the world. One of those travels brought him to
Indonesia in 2010, where he met Nova Ruth rhyming in the hip-hop group Twin Sista. Since then Nova has
added her rich musical roots to Filastine’s sound; she grew up singing pentecostal spirituals, koranic
recitations in the mosque, and playing Javanese gamelan. They are now based in Barcelona. Filastine have
released a trilogy of full-length albums, a half dozen vinyls on an equal number of record labels, and a grip of
heady conceptual mixtapes.
