Labyrinthine and florid melodies streaming over alien funk counterpoint
make the ecstatic music of Blarvuster, the latest brainchild of
critically acclaimed bagpiper/composer Matthew Welch. Inspired equally
by Celtic lines and South East Asian ensemble textures as well as
avant-garde rock and minimalism, Blarvuster’s line-up of some of the
brightest young stars in the New York experimental scene ardently evoke a
seamless hybrid of musical languages that issues forth its own
fictional tradition.
