Raras and Naoko are an improvising duo that rides on 15 years of friendship, their long-standing connections to Javanese and Japanese culture and a love for mischief. In and out of their musicking, they delight in chaos, dancing, and the thrill of feeling posessed by unseen forces in the room. Their set will explore sound combos of newly crafted Javanese Sulings (bamboo flutes made specifically for Raras, during Nakal Nakal’s recent visit to Java), Bb clarinet, bari sax, and voice memos.

George Lucas Top Surgery is a truly rare and munificent experience which can lead to a greater understanding of oneself. With power comparable to a taurus moon but x1,000,000 and sexier, the event is truly personal and inexplicable.
