Elusive Jazz presents: Tian Qiyi + Crowdwork

Tian Qiyi are a genre defying sibling duo creating immersive live experiences by blending traditional Chinese and Mongolian instruments with dub, post-punk, and experimental grooves. They are sons of Zilan Liao and Jah Wobble, and their performances include live-looped erhu, morin khuur, yangqin, bass, drums, and voice.

Crowdwork are Leeds-based trio who have burst onto the scene fusing grindcore blastbeats with the high energy of European Free Jazz, taking inspiration from John Zorn and Napalm Death. Here, Ben Finlay’s renegade distorted cello meets the barbarian virtuosity of saxophonist Harvey Parkin-Christie and drummer Teruki Chan.
