A-Sun Amissa is an instrumental music collective founded and
led by Richard Knox (The Rustle of the Stars, Shield Patterns,
Glissando) that has featured an array of members and collaborators
since it’s formation in 2011. To date they have released two albums
on Richard’s own Gizeh Records label.
The group produce a dense, drone-like atmosphere, accompanying
evocative, melodic string and woodwind sections, intertwining
guitars and field recordings. The live show features sections of the
recorded output combined with improvisation to unlock new
movements and progressions in the music. The subtle, considered
textures and the hypnotic interaction between players and
instruments provide an intense live performance.
Members and collaborators in the project include; Angela Chan
(Tomorrow We Sail, Lanterns On The Lake), Owen Pegg (Hundred
Year Old Man), Claire Brentnall (Shield Patterns), David McLean
(Gnod, Tombed Vision Records), Aidan Baker (Nadja), Colin H. van
Eeckhout (Amenra), Gareth Davis (Merzbow, Oiseaux-Tempete),
Frédéric D. Oberland (Oiseaux-Tempete, The Rustle of the Stars,
FareWell Poetry, FOUDRE!), Aaron Martin.
