Posuposu Otani

A London concert presented by Atomiser, bringing together throat singer and songwriter Posuposu Otani, The PGs, who play the music of the Flaming Tunes album, and Sam Fenton.

Throat singer and songwriter Posuposu Otani works with open-tuned guitar and the kohkin, a jew's harp, building a sound world centred on overtones and timbre, where dense harmonics meet loose, flowing rhythms. Otani has been a figure in the underground scenes of Tokyo and Yokohama, shaped by a love of punk, a stretch spent among San Francisco's skateboarding community, and journeys to India and the Republic of Sakha to research the instrument.

The PGs are Mary Currie, originator of the Flaming Tunes album, together with Alison Craig, a former Foley sound artist, guitarist and songwriter Nick Haeffner, and multi-instrumentalist and composer Marcus Holdaway. In their interpretation of Flaming Tunes, the group adds whistles and bells in a quirky style, and they also play a few left-field covers alongside some tunes of their own.

Sam Fenton, who plays with the London bands Bar Italia and Double Virgo, performs a solo set. The evening takes place at Longfield Hall, a London venue that hosts concerts and shows.
