SQUASHED

Saturday 20 June 5pm | 7:30pm
Sunday 21 June 5pm
Essendon Squash, 7 Carlyle St, Moonee Ponds VIC 3039

An empty squash court has a very particular echo. Built for a sport once among the nation's most loved games, the walls of the Essendon courts hold the sounds of another era. Join Kaylie Melville (vibraphone), Marshall McGuire (harp), Maria Moles (drum kit) and Rohan Dasika (bass) — as they serve and volley, drive and boast, flam and strike, bow and pluck; reimagining a forgotten sport into a concert for percussion and strings.

Maria Moles: Collaborating Artist/ Drummer Rohan Dasika: Collaborating Artist/ Double Bass

Such a special experience meeting and learning from Kulintang master Hadaya Tarbamg and Bryan Batu Ellorimo in Davao city yesterday. I’ve been interested in this instrument for some years now so it was amazing to learn some of the foundations in traditional kulingtang. I learnt two basic traditional songs, the first titled ‘Bunok Bunok’ about rainfall, and the second titled ‘Sinayawan’, meaning to dance 🫶 taken in Davao City by @marianancy
