AFTERSHOCK

Arun Natarajan (IN) – Guitars, Bass, Djembe & Mix
Joshua Trinidad (US) – Guest Trumpet
The unholy indo-euro dual avatar of Mia Zabelka and Arun Natarajan (IcosTech) return to Aftershock Vol.2, this time reinforced with veteran avantgarde / atmospheric cello player Henrik Meierkord from Gothenburg, Sweden. Starting with a new dialect of OST driven ambient music intertwined with electroacoustic improvisations and noise, the trio takes you through a whirlwind of calmness and calamity in this second installment of aftershock. Equal measures of soothing pastures meet chaotic industrial techno driven pulses, caressing through ambience and noise in this power packed 40 minutes project, all three musicians display their strengths and contribute a never before heard unique side of their own craft and playing. Adding to this explosive concoction is once again Joshua Trinidad from Denver, USA, who lends further melody and drama with his seamless trumpet playing.
