1 ABOVE MINUS UNDERGROUND

Koenig featuring Elvin Brandhi, Nappy Nina, Rojin Sharafi, Victoria Shen, Daelek, Guilty Simpson and Nik Hummer
SOUND
Police brutality, racism, patriarchy, Milford Graves, the ticking of time, and the money that should have been transferred yesterday: these are the themes in the music of 1 ABOVE MINUS UNDERGROUND. Improv drummer Lukas Koenig and modular synthesizer wizard Nik Hummer forge sharp splintery sounds and beats, which a host of guests rap over: such as Will Brooks of the hardcore breakbeat acolytes Dälek or Tehran-born composer Rojin Sharafi, whose moving lament and wrath vocals echo Iranian women’s struggle for freedom: “War is the Unveiling of the Truth.”
