Double Album Release Celebration: Ciaaattt and Rob Funkhouser
November 22 @ 4:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Free
Join Rob Funkhouser and members of Gamelan Mojomanis in celebrating the release of two records: Gamut Ria by Ciaaattt and Respiratory Cycle by Rob Funkhouser.
Ciaaattt is a regular collaborator with Indianapolis’ Gamelan Mojomanis, and first appeared at Big Car during the gamelan’s performance at the 2024 Levitt VIBE Indianapolis Music Series. He is currently visiting from Bali and will perform his groundbreaking vocal interpretations of gamelan tunes past and present.
Rob Funkhouser is a resident in Big Car’s long-term artist residency program, and is putting out his first proper album in several years. Respiratory Cycle is a celebration of turning inward and outward in turn, and finding music both in solitude and in collaboration. Funkhouser will perform pieces from Respiratory Cycle featuring instruments he built during his residency.
In addition to performances from Ciaaattt and Funkhouser, there will be performances featuring Landon Caldwell, and members of Gamelan Mojomanis under the name Mojoalit (Little Mojo).
The event will open with a short interactive workshop on Balinese drumming led by Ciaaattt and members of Gamelan Mojomanis.
Admission is free and donations will be accepted at the door. Copies of the albums will be available for purchase.
