Plugged presents: Parasang, Orchestra of Samples, & Moormur

A journey of sounds from around the world, bringing together three live acts exploring global beats, ethno-grooves, electronics, and nu-jazz.

POUYA EHSAEI PRESENTS PARASANG ft LAURA JURD & AFLA SACKEY
Parasang is the brainchild of london-based electronic music wizard Pouya Ehsaei and producer and promoter Harry Follette celebrating the myriad of different sounds in London today. The live improvised performance brings together an eclectic selection of London-based musicians from different cultural roots and musical backgrounds to create a new musical form that is both ancient and new, spontaneous and organised. Expect modular synths and electronics blended with a flavour of jazz and dub, with special guests award-winning trumpet player Laura Jurd and Ghanaian-born percussion master Afla Sackey.

MOORMUR
Moormur is a London based producer and beat maker whose work explores the rhythms and sounds from across the globe. The music is a ‘collage’ of samples, field recordings, and synths, and takes inspiration from spiritual music, instrumental hip hop, African rumba, IDM, contemporary jazz and ambient. With his live set, he brings to the stage percussion and electronic pads, enchanting the audience with dynamic grooves.
