about

Another archive album. The inspiration to form this duo and make this album came from the guitarist Henry Kaiser's album Hope You Like Our New Direction. Like Henry, Viv and I both have very broad musical interests, and we were both actively pursuing those interests at the time and decided to collaborate and formed Avant Roots. The name reflected the intersectionality of all the music we were performing then, from Rembetika to Blues; Free Improvisation to Turkish, African and Hawaiian influenced self composed songs, extended vocal and guitar techniques; acoustic and electronic. An assimilation and mutation of the babel of world sounds. Past present and future music maybe?
