The Joyous Thing 3 # Petit Oiseau (Jatinder Singh Durhailay & Suren Seneviratne)

Presented by Outlands, The Joyous Thing 3 is an annual gathering for the UK experimental music community and anyone with a curious ear. 2022's event featured an in person programme at MK Gallery, with newly commissioned works by Coby Sey, TACO!, ame, Lost Property, Eastern Ear, MK Gallery/Simon Wright, Tor Festival, Daniel W G Mackenzie, and Lukas Hornby; and live performances from emerging artists I Am Fya and Euso, plus DJ sets from Outlands members.

Petit Oiseau - Jatinder Singh Durhailay and Suren Seneviratne - brings together rare classical Indian string instruments played by Jatinder known as the Dilruba and the Taus, unusually combined with Seneviratne’s interests in alternate tunings and numerology through custom patches built on a E-MU Command Station digital synthesiser.

Since forming in 2012, the duo has performed at venues including Tate Modern, V&A Museum, The Design Museum, Camden Art Centre and RichMix.

This show presents a mix of tracks from their recent album (released on Poetic Pastel Press) alongside new work created especially for the OUTLANDS takeover.
