JOLT ARTISTS BRINGING OUT THE INCLUSIVE LOVE
JOLT Arts is returning from Japan to showcase truly beaut artists.
Fresh from their shows in Yokohama and Kyoto Australia’s leading sound art ensemble The Amplified Elephants are back in town with their newest show FOREST OF THREADS. In a darkened room experience the hooting ghosts of nature.
Australian/Japanese legend Noriko Tadano will unleash her shamisen axe for another breath-taking show. And what a voice – Wow!
The unapologetic intergalactic force that is Strange James will pour sweet cooling silver gelatine in your ears such that you transform into happy electric butterflies that shoot lasers from their eyes and blow shit up. Even though lasers have become truly boring and you hate them. Strange James performs alongside mighty percussionist/drummer Hamish Upton. There’s vocals, guitar, drums and electronics – but not as we know it Jim.
Shut up. You are allowed to have fun: even if it is super snazzy and oddly arousing.
