Indigo Live: Jon Sterckx - Drumscapes and Arhai

Jon Sterckx is an innovative world music percussionist equally at home with traditional & contemporary music forms. Jon plays a range of percussion instruments and has worked across a wide range of musical styles, from Indian classical music to contemporary experimental & 'fusion' styles, theatre & dance collaborations, and his solo multi-percussion Live Sampling / Live Looping performances - Drumscapes. All instruments are played, sampled, mixed & processed live on stage in a synthesis of traditional musicianship and live electronics. The result is a unique blend of rhythmic soundscapes, bouncy world rhythms & high energy drumming.


ArHai is an electronic/folk duo based in London, UK, consisting of Serbian born composer and singer Jovana Backovic, and British multi-instrumentalist Adrian Lever. ArHai's music is cinematic fusion of electronic music and folk and medieval influences from both the Gaelic and Balkan traditions. Underlined with breathtaking visuals, technologically mediated live performance of Arhai transforms the sound of Bulgarian lute and hammered dulcimer played by Adrian Lever, blending it with Jovana's ethereal vocals.
