SIX ORGANS OF ADMITTANCE + TASHI DORJI

This show is sold out. Sorry

Six Organs of Admittance is the project of Ben Chasny. The original inspiration for the band came from wanting to merge the styles of finger-style acoustic guitar with more improvisational drone elements. A copy of Hans Peter Duerr’s Dreamtime book (a gift from Ben’s friend Rob Fisk) provided the early blueprint for the analogy of fingerstyle = civilization vs. noise = wilderness that was to dominate the first few releases. Early records were recorded on a Tascam 424 mkII four-track and self-released while Ben still lived in Humboldt County. A new record "Time Is Glass" is out on Drag City April 26th

Chasny is also a member of the psychedelic band Comets on Fire, and has working relationships with Badgerlore, Current 93, and Magik Markers.

Tashi Dorji is a Bhutanese guitarist and improvisational musician known for his avant-garde and experimental (read: deeply gnarly, finely arty) approach to music. Tashi’s idiosyncratic take on the instrument, one defined by movement and profound openness to technique, adds up to a post-colonial disembowelment of guitar traditions.
