Woodwind/percussion/electronics duo Enuma Elish will be performing at the Zeitgeist Gallery in Cambridge, Ma on Thursday, June 16th at 7:00pm in support of its latest release on Lithiq, “Leviathan.” Enuma Elish, whose latest release has been described by Britain’s Ptolemaic Terrascope Magazine as a “glorious psychedelic jazz noise” and being a “Eric Dolphy meets Bitches Brew” hybrid by Canada’s Exclaim Magazine, has been performing throughout the Northeast and beyond since 1999, and are making a rare appearance at the Zeitgeist.

Formed in 1999, Enuma Elish was born of a vision to create a cohesive synthesis of world music, free jazz, and electronica. Enuma Elish are distinguished from most live/electronic hybrids by their use of loops created from original field recordings, acoustic percussion, ethnic strings and winds, in addition to conventional electronic instruments. This exotic sound palette provides the backdrop for Warren’s volcanic excursions on his various wind instruments while Yuri churns a mind-bending assault on his electronically triggered acoustic drumset. Together, they are charting a new course for instrumental music that employs, yet greatly exceeds the bounds of the established genres from which their music is generated.
