2025.03.18.-19. *Crna Kuca, Novi Sad - Sprat, Beograd* Toby Driver and Alora Crucible

[azal]

Toby Driver is a composer and multi-instrumentalist who navigates between genres. He is “a tirelessly inventive recording artist” (PopMatters) with a prolific career of over 25 years. His work–– impressionistic, architectural and emotionally vulnerable––has been described as “unlike any other” (The Quietus), displaying “A greater vision of how music can evoke feelings both grandiose and devastatingly intimate.” (Vice/Noisey). His multifarious projects share a sensitive and detail oriented composition ranging from the metaphysical to the avant-garde, and an insatiable search for the new: there's “absolutely nothing to compare it against.” (Echoes and Dust)

Alora Crucible, his most recent musical identity, explores transcendental instrumental music with Driver on guitar and hammered dulcimer in collaboration with violinist Timba Harris and keyboardist Ana Cristina Pérez. With their recent second album, Oak Lace Apparition, released on the enigmatic and elite House of Mythology label in the company of titans Ulver and Current 93, Alora Crucible has made a strong and enduring statement about this music's exalted place in Driver's diverse body of work. Simultaneously with that, Driver also released a new solo album of ballads, Raven, I Know That You Can Give Me Anything, and completed a yet-to-be-announced major work with his long-running outfit Kayo Dot, “one of the greatest and most exciting contemporary progressive/experimental/avant-garde bands going,” (Treblezine) showing that his reputation as “one of the most endlessly creative and thrilling band leaders” (Treblezine) is a well-earned one.

Toby and his band present music from both the Toby Driver solo albums and the Alora Crucible albums in two separate sets, featuring guitar, violin, hammered dulcimer, synths, vocals, and percussion.

Toby Driver: (Kayo Dot, maudlin of the Well): guitar, voice, hammered dulcimer
Timba Harris (Igorrr, Grails, Kayo Dot, Secret Chiefs 3): violin/viola
Ana Cristina Pérez: synths and voice
Sam Gutterman (Kayo Dot, Forlesen): percussion, guitar

Lazo kada bi poceo Toby da svira u sklopu ove satnice od 19:30 do 22:30?

[Haos sam ja]

Karta u džepu. U Spratu uvek bude prijatno i uvek se fino ušibam tako da biće bombon.

[23/16]

Vlada Srbije će na sutrašnjoj sednici, na predlog predsednika Aleksandra Vučića, utorak 18. mart 2025, proglasiti za Dan žalosti u Srbiji zbog požara u Severnoj Makedoniji u kojem, je poginulo najmanje 51 osoba, a više od 100 je povređeno.

Tobi je i onako soundtrack za dan zalosti, sigurno moze neki izuzetak da se napravi.

Bilo lepo sinoć. Zvuk bombona, ja bih rekao i najbolji od kada Tobi pohodi Srbe, a i prostor je najlepši do sad, bilo je tiho i sakralno nekako, bez onog ružnog žamora u publici kada se svira suptilna muzika. Materijal koji izdaje pod svojim imenom je meni bolji, Alora Crucible deo je meditativan i gotovo minimalistički ali neću da lažem da nisam zazevao u par navrata, srećom pesma kojom su zatvorili nastup i na kojem gospođica peva je bila najbolja iz AC opusa i pravi closer. Možda 50ak ljudi prisutno, Rusi prodali big time.

[azal]

jbg svirao i Ploho sinoc. 

lepo bilo, publika super, jedino sto je baja za sankom par puta ukljucio espreso masinu za vreme nastupa. 

slazem se za AC, meni to muzika za citanje ili spavanje, nije mi bas da gledam uzivo, ali ta poslednja jeste bila fenomenalna. 

[23/16]

Bas je bila lepa svirka. Hvala organizatoru sto je doveo Tobija, pretpostavljam da nije bilo finansijski isplativo.

[azal]

ma ovo su drugarske price. pre svega hvala Danilu, on je sredio i prostor i fenomenalan zvuk.
