Last seen on these shores supporting Godspeed You Black Emperor! At the National Stadium in Dublin, Tashi Dorji is a Bhutanese-born, Asheville-based experimental guitarist whose fiercely intuitive improvisations have carved out a unique space in the contemporary avant-garde. His expansive discography includes deeply felt solo works like Stateless (2020) and we will be wherever the fires are lit (2024), and his forthcoming electric album low clouds hang, this land is on fire (2026) on Drag City. Dorji is one half of Manas, the dynamic duo with drummer Thom Nguyen, and a founding member of the free jazz trio KUZU, alongside saxophonist Dave Rempis and drummer Tyler Damon. His collaborators span a wide spectrum: from Mette Rasmussen, Susie Ibarra, Efrim Manuel Menuck, Alex Zhang Hungtai, John Dieterich, Audrey Chen and Joe McPhee to more recent partnerships with Tony Buck, Terrie Ex, Andy Moor, bassist John Edwards, and drummer Steve Noble. Across his solo and group projects, Dorji’s playing, rooted in alternate tunings, prepared guitar, and spontaneous gesture, articulates an aesthetic of resistance, deep listening, and collective transformation.

No #fascist handling of #Lhotshampa community in #Harrisburg not to mention #Bhutanese ethnic cleansing which is ironic in light of supposed #happiness index and #Buddhist #enlightenment

Last day of #July. Time to crank up making the most of 2024. Starting tomorrow 😅

Today was another quasi-non-event resulting from, I think, a crash after loads of #energy drinks over the weekend. That's unusual for me but I had a ton to do in a short time and the shop special was an offer you couldn't refuse.

I got into the "I never want to face the world or anyone in it ever again" #headspace until my #Bhutanese neighbour spontaneously brought veg #dumplings over for no reason in the evening.
