On today's episode, I talk to musician Oren Ambarchi. Originally
from Sydney, Australia, Oren began playing free jazz as a drummer
in the late '80s, eventually moving from there to New York, where
he became integrated in the experimental and jazz scene. Oren's
collaborations and albums are too numerous to mention here, but
he's played with everyone from Sunn 0)) to John Zorn to Jim
O’Rourke to Phill Niblock, and released albums on labels like
Kranky, Tzadik and his own, Black Truffle. Oren now lives in
Berlin, and his most recent album is Shebang, which was released on
Drag City last year, and it is incredible!
