Moor Mother: Fetish Bones (10th Anniversary tour) + Eve Matin

Moor Mother (Camae Ayewa) is an international touring musician, poet, visual artist and Professor of Composition at the USC Thornton School of Music. As well as her solo project she is also part of the groups Irreversible Entanglements and 700 Bliss.

FETISH BONES 10TH ANNIVERSARY

First released September 16, 2016, Fetish Bones was the debut album of Philadelphia based musician, artist, and activist Camae Ayewa, performing as Moor Mother. Recorded in her home studio using a collection of machines, field recordings, and analog noisemakers, the album's 13 tracks fused the visceral anger of punk with the expansive improvisatory spirit of Sun Ra, arriving not as a way to forget but as a demand to remember.

The record was named an Album of the Year by The Wire and Jazz Right Now, and landed on Pitchfork's Best Experimental LPs of 2016, Rolling Stone's Best Avant Albums of 2016, and Thump's 25 Best Experimental Albums of 2016. "Deadbeat Protest" made both Pitchfork's and Noisey's Best Songs of 2016 lists, and Bandcamp named Ayewa its 2016 Artist of the Year while including Fetish Bones among its 100 Best Records of 2016.

Ten years later, Don Giovanni Records celebrates that debut with a 10th anniversary edition, pressed with a foil album cover and featuring the previously unreleased bonus track "Marian Anderson," a collaboration with Wolf Weston and Wooden Elephant. In the years since Fetish Bones, Ayewa has become one of experimental music's most celebrated and prolific voices.

Eve Matin is a Peruvian-Persian harpist and composer. She was the first female harpist to graduate from the Peruvian National Music Conservatory, debuting at the age of 17 with the National Symphonic Orchestra of Peru. Matin’s practice involves composition, improvisation, and experimentation with novel techniques that introduce originality into her music. Matin's performances - marked by percussive strokes, microtonal sensibilities, and a dance-like interaction with the strings - reflect a long journey of research into the technical diversity and devotional music of world traditions.
