Arrington de Dionyso - voice/bass clarinet/invented winds
China Star - soprano saxophone/invented winds
+ Guests John McCowan - clarinets, Christina Stanley - violin, Rent Romus - saxophones/flutes, Thollem Electric - keyboard

Arrington de Dionyso conjures Utopic Spaces with multiphonic vocal work & minimalist instrumentation. It's shamanic seance meets rock and roll ecstasy; “TRANCE PUNK” combining traditional ritual trance, electrified experimental approaches, dancehall rhythms, gamelan scales and mystically inspired Indonesian incantations. Shocking and hallucinatory, MALAIKAT DAN SINGA always aims to channel Spirit.

"Old Time Relijun's front-man channels true folk sounds thru bass clarinet, snare drum, shruti box, and multiphonic voice. Arrington de Dionyso's grand textural experiments are inspired by Indian classical music, Tuvan throat-singing, and free jazz."
