Five programmes
(4) Dawn of Midi
New York-based acoustic trio Dawn of Midi bring a sound that's "totally unprecedented" (Pitchfork). Their sophomore album Dysnomia was listed among the Best Albums of 2013 in The New Yorker, NPR and BBC3. As red-blooded and rhythmic as a seamlessly mixed DJ set, Dysnomia is performed in its entirety, in this extraordinary live show.
Dawn of Midi's bassist Aakaash Israni, pianist Amino Belyamani and percussionist Qasim Naqvi first met while studying at Cal Arts (California Institute of the Arts). Thanks to the fact that they were friends first - playing late-night tennis matches in dimly lit parking lots well before they stepped into a studio or rehearsal space - they have followed their own logic from day one. Belyamani admits it's taken some time to shift from early improv sessions to the well-oiled machine that makes for both a dizzying dance sound and a deeply immersive living room listen (recorded in the Wellington Opera House by RNZ)
