SUMMARY:Monde UFO
LOCATION:Coventry Just Dropped In
DESCRIPTION:Plus Special Guests - Monde UFO\, LA-based duo of Ray Monde an
 d Kris Chau\, are a monochromatic sunset for the senses. A sonic journey t
 hrough psychedelia\, space rock and jazz. A cosmic space where Spacemen 3 
 meets Vanishing Twin\, by way of Sun Ra.In a downtown Los Angeles warehous
 e\, on 7th Street\, Ray Monde began writing songs on an old Yamaha church 
 organ for a project that eventually became Monde UFO. Utilizing the organ 
 as a bass\, alongside keyboards and a drum machine\, he began making demos
  on a four-track cassette recorder\, adding only vocals and guitar to the 
 organ pieces.He explored making haunting and optimistic sounds while livin
 g in Skid Row as a one-man band. Heavily influenced by the musician Sandy 
 Bull\, sonically landing in a similar no-man’s land of Worldly Jazz and 
 Psych Folk. Monde experimented with the themes mostly of meditation and UF
 O lore.In time Ray moved in with the artist Kris Chau. With little crossov
 er in musical tastes\, they exclusively started listening to jazz\, ambien
 t and new age music in the house. Increased interest in sound baths and ex
 perimental music led to seeing music in a different light. Ray thought it 
 would be interesting to add Chau into his slow burner music project envisi
 oning something that would sound like Don Cherry making a record with Yo L
 a Tengo. Chau\, with no previous musical experience\, would play a sacral 
 singing bowl mic’d up though various guitar pedals and singing. Ray woul
 d write songs that fit these 436hz drones and in addition to the old drum 
 machines added modal jazz alternatives to more limited song structures. By
  incorporating Kris\, a non-musician\, there was an added emphasis on simp
 licity and an innocence akin to Beat Happening and K records. Alongside a 
 Community-College taught conservatory-rejected jazz musician the duo reach
 ed back to a more youthful punk foundation\; without over rehearsing\, the
 y empathized more on creativity than virtuosity.\n\nBoletos: https://wegot
