Mark Nilsen from Brooklyn, NY – Experimental Jazz and Spoken Word

Entrance Fee 門票: $100

music starts 表演 : 9.30pm

After 20 years of performing music in New York City and touring Northern Europe with his band Trance Pop Loops, Mark Nilsen decided to uproot himself and travel to Asia.  For 3 years Nilsen has explored Da Ruan music in Beijing, Gamelon in Indonesia, Yue Qin in Taiwan, Dan Bao in Vietnam, Madal drum in Nepal as well as joined countless late night jam sessions with his self built guitars.

Currently Nilsen is finishing the latest Trance Pop Loops album “Come back from the Light” recorded in Brooklyn, New York last year while taking a break from his travels. He is also preparing to revisit his past destinations and perform the music his previous visits inspired. What drives the sound of this self styled world musician is not so much a fusion of styles but how cultural exploration can deepen his indie roots and performance sensibilities.
