Zöj and Clocked Out

Zöj joins Clocked Out for this brand new musical collaboration. With a colourful combination of musical instruments at the heart of this project - voice, Persian Kamancheh, prepared piano, percussion and drum kit - this is sure to be a unique sonic experience. Set in the intimate Lagavulin concert hall, this concert provides an opportunity to hear these creative musicians up close, amidst the stunning natural environment of Harrigans Lane.

Zöj's most recent work has been described as "An electrifying sonic experience" (Solenopole) which is "boundary-pushing" (Twistedsoul), while Clocked Out are always "ready and willing to expand your musical horizons" (Splendid ezine).

More about Zöj

ZÖJ is a Victorian based duo featuring Gelareh Pour on voice and Persian Kamancheh, and Brian O'Dwyer on drum kit. Pour’s classical background comes through in masterful playing and evocative interpretations of Persian poetry sung in Farsi. Together with O’Dwyer’s experimental rhythms, the duo’s nuanced synergetic connection sparkles with emotion and purpose. Gelareh Pour and Brian O’Dwyer have a significant working relationship that has seen the duo co-produce and release several albums together. The ideals of ZÖJ are firmly rooted in true expression of inter-culturalism, specifically what it means to be from more than one place. ZÖJ perform structured improvisations that are inclusive of the moment and environment. Translating that each ZÖJ performance is different as the duo allow the space in which they are performing to direct their music and reactions.
