[ATTENDED: March 14, 2018] Liberty / Tashi Dorji Duo
I had never heard of Liberty / Tashi Dorji Duo when I saw they were opening for Godspeed You Black Emperor. I also didn’t know if Liberty was a part of the duo or even if Liberty was a second opening act.
Well, it turns out that Tashi Dorji is a guitarist who often plays by himself. But for this show he was with “the elusive Danish saxophonist LIBERTY (Mette Rasmussen).”
So what did this mean for the show? Well, a brief search on Dorji revealed:
Tashi Dorji was born and raised in Bhutan, on the eastern side of the Himalayas. Residing in Asheville since 2000 and soaking up a vast array of music. Along the way, Dorji developed a playing style unbound by tradition, yet with a direct line to intuitive artistry. All references break loose during his playing, as Dorji keys into his own inner world.
and that
Liberty is a saxophone player whose music is defining a unique balance of uproar and beauty. Her ability to move between the often strict confines of genres and explore the elements makes her presence highly powerful. She has encapsulated her own personal vision of acoustic music, by amplification expanding her range in dynamics and rocketing a more prosaic stem.
