Music in Communities is excited to present the double album release of Quilting and Zhorli (aka Ken Shorley)! Featuring Mairi Chaimbeul, Sahara Jane, Kim Barlow and Brian Borcherdt, with DJ HJ BJ (Holy F).
Co-founded by Holy Fuck’s Brian Borcherdt, Quilting is a quartet comprised of a diverse and accomplished collection of musicians including renowned folk guitarist Kim Barlow, distinguished Isle Of Skye harpist (and Berklee professor) Màiri Chaimbeul, and Sahara Nasr, a noted songwriter and player of the rare Indian Sarangi. The LP, which features hand-calligraphed cover art from Upstate New York-based artist and musician Sarah Le Puerta, features five songs all recorded live, off-the-floor in a single live performance. Moods range from reflective to unsettled, and even at its loudest parts, a sense of intimacy persists. The album is a quietly stunning collection of pastoral ambience dotted with moments of tension that reflects the maritime environment in which it was created, inadvertently paying homage to the light and darkness of rural life.
Zhorli (aka Ken Shorley) is a diverse percussionist who specializes in the hand drumming traditions of the Middle East and India. He is based in Canada, but his musical passions have taken him to many parts of the globe. In addition to drumming, Ken is also an avid player and teacher of Indonesian gamelan music. His ensemble performs traditional and contemporary music for gamelan degung. Ken has been a featured performer (as both bandleader and accompanist) at the Halifax Jazz Festival, Sound Symposium, Prismatic Festival, Lunenburg Folk Harbour Festival, Sunfest, Mosaiq Festival, Deep Roots Music Festival, and on national broadcasts for CBC Radio 2. Some of Ken’s current projects include developing a series of online rhythm and drumming lessons called Inner Time, teaching Gamelan and World Music courses at Acadia University, touring and recording with songwriter Sahara Jane, producing music videos and recordings for Triangle House Studios, performing and producing electronic music under the name zhorli, and with Worldbeat Underground, as well as composing music for his own amusement, for his hand-drumming group, KST, and for other interested musicians or filmmakers who ask him to.
