 ÌýÌýListen (3'25) to Solomon & Socalled perform 'Electro Taxim' from 'Hiphopkhasene' (Piranha CD-PIRI1789)
Where I play:
Oi Va Voi keep it real! We still play a lot at Jewish weddings…maybe 30% of our gigs. And then we do a lot of International Festivals and clubs as well: We’ve just played a speed garage night in Amsterdam and we regularly play London club venues like ICA, Cargo, 93Feet East and so on.
 I’m also playing quite a lot of gigs with the Solomon & Socalled HipHopKhasene project. We premiered it in New York last March at the Centre for Jewish History and we’re playing at the Jewish Festival in Krakow in July. I’ve also been playing occasionally in a duo with the Tunisian oud and laptop player Smadj, exploring Turkish and North African rhythms and melodies, which has been really interesting as well.
But my real passion at the moment has been the electro-acoustic-classical composition I’ve been creating around my (late) uncle’s vocals, Feter Chaim Moyshe, which I hope will have performance life after its March premiere at Trinity College of Music, because I wrote it with Alan Bern and David Krakauer in mind, but they couldn’t be around for that date. But we’ll just have to see where all that takes me.
