Arrington De Dionyso seems to have taken on board the warning of the poet William Blake, one of the main inspirers of his unusual artistic career: «Imagination is not a mental state: it is existence itself».Also inspired by mystery cults and oriental philosophies, the former Old Time Relijun (Olympia freaks in which Phil Elverum also played, later at the helm of The Microphones and Mount Eerie) is an outsider in every sense: he transcends the preconceived rules of musical grammar (be careful though: he is an ethnomusicologist) driven by a - precisely - Dionysian spirit.Imagine Captain Beefheart lost in the jungle of Chrome but coming from south-east Asia and you will have a vague idea of the dadaist bacchanal of Malaikat dan Singa, a free-form project sung in Indonesian for which on the Italian tour he will be joined by Jacopo Andreini and Enrico Amendolia.He calls it "trans-utopian world music" or "trance-punk": either way, it will open the doors of perception for you.Dali De Saint Paul is a musician and performer active in the European experimental scene.His practice focuses on the use of the voice between improvisation, spoken word and extended techniques.His work fuses contemporary music, noise and performance.His performances explore body, language and perception.
