Gotobeat is proud to present Elf Traps & Shunya at Billy Bootleggers, Nottingham on Thursday 3rd December.Elf Traps
Elf Traps is a new project Formed by Mercury Prize nominee Rob Turner (Mammal Hands, former–GoGo Penguin) and Liviu Gheorghe (former–Matthew Halsall / Gondwana) where beat-driven electronica collides with spiritual jazz and psychedelic, otherworldly, tones.
On stage, live drums and synths are intertwined with drum machines, laptops, samplers, chopped vocal fragments and custom robotic percussion, creating a hypnotic exchange of rhythm, texture and improvisation. The music twists and evolves in real time, moving from meditative ambient passages to explosive, adrenaline-charged rhythmic peaks. No two performances are ever the same.
Shunya
Shunya (aka Alan Keary) is a musician and artist from Limerick, Ireland. Whether performing entirely improvised, experimental sets to sold-out crowds at Village Underground in London, writing and performing orchestral arrangements for South African cellist Abel Selaocoe’s BBC Prom at the Royal Albert Hall, or creating dense electronic remixes for ex–Blue Note jazz giants GoGo Penguin, Keary constantly showcases his ability to slip seamlessly between styles and genres—balancing on the line between recklessness and precision.
