@om_ensemble_ back for another live sonic exploration with us 🍄 Niche x TiHKAL @ Club Cheek May 15th 𓍊𓋼𓍊𓋼𓍊 Friday 15th May 10pm to 6am @clubcheek SW9 7JJ £7 (limited) / £12 / £16 tickets via gel.now (at the link) 🎟️ 𓍊𓋼𓍊𓋼𓍊 We had a chat with Om Ensemble ahead of their journey into rhythm and textures this Friday at Club Cheek. They started as a percussion group, performing music by the likes of Iannis Xenakis, Steve Reich, John Cage and many more. It then quickly grew into a multi faceted ensemble, working with electronics, live visuals and performance artists. Their performance at Niche in July 2024 was mesmerising; and as they said, not even they know what will happen this time around, as the set is fully improvised. Can’t wait! Thanks so much for the amazing support so far! We are so looking forward to seeing the many of you who have already bought a ticket, and invite everyone else to get one soon to avoid surprises. Only a couple of low income tickets left now, get in touch if you can’t afford one at all as no one will be turned away for lack of funds. Get in touch for any further info! 𓍊𓋼𓍊𓋼𓍊 Marylou Basic Chanel McGregor (Live) St. Amp b2b Wordcolour Om Ensemble (Live) Ikävä Pii 𓍊𓋼𓍊𓋼𓍊 Curated by @ikavapii and @wordcolour_ Artwork by roocore

4 weeks until the winter solstice. The shortest day of the year in this half of the globe. The night before, we’re celebrating the Ritual Circus. An intimate bubble in the end of year dash to make space for something else. Time outside of time. Intention without hurry. Stepping beyond a threshold, as the skies stand still in their motion. Movement. Music. Fire. Food. A meeting of the sacred and the absurd. ~ From 10am, we’ll be co-creating the container for the evening event. It’s open space. Making candles, decorating, preparing outfits, making food, games, songs… At 4pm, at sundown, the main event will start. We’ll burn a yule log. Sing. Sweat in the sauna. Plunge in the lake. Ready to move in the yurt. Roll. Sway. Crawl. Dance. Rave. Scream. Die. Rebirth With live music from @om_ensemble_ , the energy will be electric. At some point emerge from the haze. Commune around the cauldron. Rest and digest. Limited overnight space available. £50 all day. Come when you can, before 4pm. If money is an issue, reach out. We want to include everyone who feels the calling.
