Witch’n’Monk, LUX:NM & Jim Black

a collaboration of LUX:NM with Witch’n’Monk and Jim Black

WITCH ‘N’MONK, the intimate partnership of Colombian rebel – flutist Mauricio Velasierra and British anarchist – soprano Heidi Heidelberg, meets the nerds of LUX:NM. With traditional flutes, soprano, cello, guitar, trombone, piano, accordion, saxophone, charango, drums and live electronics, stylistic features from avant-garde, contemporary music, Latin American “folktronica” and experimental jazz are combined to bring the fluid songs of WITCH ‘N’MONK’s new album to the stage in arrangements for large ensemble. Video scores by Florian Japp serve as a medium for the ensembles’ collaborative work between composed and improvised music.
