Omniversal Hum: Jonnine (accompanied by Maria Moles) + DJ Conrad Standish
Event description
Omniversal Hum presents Jonnine at Hope St Radio. Her appearance will be in collaboration with percussionist Maria Moles, performing pieces from ‘Maritz’ the most recent collection of songs for DJ Sundae’s Idle Press alongside unreleased material.
Jonnine’s solo work both dilates and deconstructs the damaged, sensual minimalism of her iconic, two decade collaboration alongside Nigel Yang in HTRK. Skeletal rhythms slink and echo through dimly lit streets framed by fragments of guitar, bass, breath, keys, scrapes, and haze anchored by Jonnine’s narcotic, nocturnal voice. The moods she conjures are lovelorn but oblique, between dream and coma, overlooked scenes glimpsed through fogged glass. Her body of work and artistic vision continue to bloom and beguile, and in the live setting its mysteries assume forms even more untethered and unknown.
