Enter a world where sound is spirit, and every performance is a ceremony. Tiger Poems, a trio of visionary explorers, conjures a unique universe where the rigorous spontaneity of free improvisation meets the primal pulse of animistic trance ritual.
Hear the voice as a wild, untamed instrument. Arrington de Dionyso (Old Time Relijun, Malaikat dan Singa) channels guttural overtone singing and hollering melodies, while his bass clarinet offers everything from raven-croak murmurs to Ayleresque glossolalia. He is met by the all-caps kinetic piano of Gust Burns, a master of texture and dynamic architecture, who navigates the strings and keys to build tumultuous, resonant storms. Noel Kennon holds the space together, sculpting time and vibration with an array of gongs, metallic objects and giant bass drums. The trio yawps in a language of shimmering overtones and deep, grounding frequencies that physically shake the air.
TIGER POEMS is not a concert, but the invocation of an ancient growl. In the resonant acoustics of the Chapel Performance Space at the Good Shepherd Center, the trio weaves a collective, unrepeatable journey. Expect a transformative “beyond-listening” experience—a cascade of primal echoes, modern dissonances, and hypnotic rhythms that bypasses the intellect to speak directly to the body and the unseen.
Tiger Poems invites you to witness the moment where music becomes ritual, and the performance space becomes a sacred ground for summoned sound.
Ahmad Yousefbeigi will open the event promptly at 8pm with a solo set showcasing his breathtaking mastery of the Kurdish Daf (frame drum).
