Alan Bishop / Sam Shalabi / Maurice Louca (Solo shows)

Beskrivelse

The Dwarfs of East Agouza residency features solo performances from all three members, each offering a deeper insight into the distinct musical worlds they have developed over decades of experimental practice. Alan Bishop (Sun City Girls, The Invisible Hands, Alvarius B.) performs solo as Alvarius B., blending sharp-edged songwriting with surreal lyricism, improvisation, and dissonant folk forms. Maurice Louca draws from a vast palette of electronics, microtonality, and percussive patterns, shaped by his work in projects such as Elephantine and Lekhfa, where trance, repetition, and sonic density converge. Sam Shalabi (Land of Kush, Shalabi Effect) presents a solo set rooted in psychedelic drift, tape collage, and noise, weaving guitar and oud into a language of wandering beauty and unease. Each performance reveals a different facet of the trio’s shared language.
