I’m currently working my way through Nonagonic Now, an album by New Zealand’s vibrant Orchestra Of Spheres.
I don’t know much about the band but intend to discover lots more in the near future. Emerging from Wellington, New Zealand in 2010, the band consists of Baba Rossa (vocals, biscuit tin guitar), Jemi Hemi Mandala, Mos locos (synth, vocals), Zye Soceles, Tooth, EtonalE (bass carillon, vocals) and Woild Boin (drums).
They have been described as quirky DIY disco pioneers and I love this title because they blend the weird with the wonderful in such a unique way! Their influences are based on, ( and this quote is from the band in an article I read earlier), “psychedelic primary school disco” to kwaito, free improv, shangaan electro, inner brain clap and funk puppetré”.
Today’s track comes from their 2010 album Nonagonic Now, offering up a fascinating & eclectic blend of Balinese gamelan, African folk, wah-wah-laden psychedelic freakouts, off-kilter art funk, dance music and general electro-acoustic oddness!
The definition of this Isness is “the ability to live in a world of ‘what is, living in the now.” This is the title of today’s track and what better way to absorb this little gem of wisdom than through the medium of fantastic and otherworldly music! Listen above.
Check out the rest of the album and listen to more Orchestra Of Spheres here.
