Soundscape Records, Pink Fono Jamspace and Herbal International jointly present a night of awe-inspiring sound featuring MoHa from Norway, Horacio Pollard from UK.
This special night will witness a live collaborative improvisational set from both acts followed by the sensorial light & noise performance by Norwegian duo, MoHa!, and the noise antics of Berlin-based London musician, Horacio Pollard.
MoHa!
MoHa! are two young Norwegian musicians, Anders Hana on guitar & synthesizer and Morten J.Olsen on drums and supercollider. They have been working together since 1998 in various corners of experimental music and in different settings. Their first release on Rune Grammofon was “Raus aus Stavanger” in 2006. The release gained a lot of national and international recognition. Their sophomore, “Norwegianism”, was regarded as one of the best records of the year in 2007 under the ʻOuter Limitsʼ category in the renowned music magazine, The Wire. Their music was described by BBC as “funky heavy metal musique concrete”.
In 2008 there was a drastic change in MoHa!ʼs music where they moved from being improvisational to more strictly composed material. After a lot of rehearsing and about 70 concerts in Europe, the duo recorded “One-Way Ticket to Candyland” and “Jeff Careyʼs MoHa!”, both released on Rune Grammofon to rave reviews. MoHa!ʼs music is best described as an extreme Aphex Twin meets Merzbow – precise, revolutionary and staggeringly intense.

Horacio Pollard
Horacio Pollard is a Berlin/London based musician who works with mind-altering obscure noise creations. He started making music in 2000 with his 3-piece band, Cau_Cational Betreet, who built a small following by playing f*cked up music in strange places like motorway bridges, shopping centers, quarries and church roofs, to name a few.
Since then, he has released a bunch of solo records on various labels such as Wong Music, Adaadat, Twilight Luggage and his own Neigh%Music. He has toured extensively around Europe, South America and the Far East and has collaborated with artists such as Anla Courtis, Ove Naxx and many more.

Supporting acts:
Citizens of Ice Cream
The band have earned a well-deserved reputation as one of the bands on the forefront of Malaysia’s Chinese indie music scene. Theirs is a vastly intelligent brand of instrumental rock with an added knack for exotic Oriental melodies, somewhat akin to Explosions in The Sky meeting Ride during Chinese New Year.
Strictly local, gorgeously global.
Citizens of Ice Cream create a sound as delicious as the name implies. Track from the debut EP “Leave it to the Ants” tantalizes the senses with twangy guitars, punctuating synthesizers, and skittering drums.
Dominated by a non-linear movement, the track expresses a spatial freedom that is overwhelming, captivating, and all together blissful. The different instruments dance around each other as the layers smoothly gel, regardless of the configuration.

The Maharajah Commission
This is one band that is in no danger of being overexposed. And thank heavens for that. Between noise rock, lo-fi tradition and atmosphereic expansiveness, the music of Maharajah Commission is too idiosyncratic for the marketplace. Maharajah Commission is one of the rare Kuala Lumpur outfits confidently independent and punk enough to exploit its individuality and freedom.
