THE TRANSCENDENCE ORCHESTRA on ritual, drones and cosmic sound | MOSTRA 2026 — In Their Own Words

Описание: This interview with The Transcendence Orchestra is part of Mostra 2026 — In Their Own Words, a series of conversations with the artists shaping the 2026 edition of Mostra Festival in Barcelona.

Tony and Dan talk about describing music without genres, embracing confusion as a creative force, and drawing inspiration from drone music, spiritual jazz, and ritual sound practices. From slow voguing and unexpected bass roles to community, values, and cosmic philosophy, the conversation moves naturally between humour and depth.
