SHOEB AHMAD
PURE MASS
ALASKA ORCHESTRA
Canberra’s Shoeb Ahmad has been creating idiosyncratic music over the last decade, using guitar, keyboards, voice and electronics. Shoeb works both as singer/composer and improviser and has performed throughout Australia, Japan, New Zealand, the UK and the SE Asian region as a solo artist and with groups such as Sensaround, Spartak, Tangents and the Australian Art Orchestra. Shoeb has released a diverse range of original music while also working on sound design for dance/theatre, installation pieces and contemporary chamber composition, inspired by 20th Century avant-classical works, Indian ragas and minimalist electronic music. For her first show in Sydney for 2019, she will be joined by PURE MASS ’s slow-motion metallics and the tonal minimalism of Alaska Orchestra.
