Birds of Paradox

Birds of Paradox is a collaboration between Ron Samworth, Lan Tung, and Neelamjit Dhillon that began in December of 2007 to explore the fusion of composition and improvisation. The unique instrumentation - erhu/voice, guitars/effects, and tabla/alto saxophone, provides a wealth of textural possibilities to these three versatile composer/performers. Three very distinct voices and cultural backgrounds come together as a creative whole. Samworth is from Anglo/Irish roots, Dhillon: Indian, and Tung: Chinese. The traditional musics of these cultures are infinitely rich unto themselves - but the transformation and synthesis of these traditions into a contemporary expression of life in post-millennial Vancouver is what compels this group. Vancouver is a city which has experienced extraordinary growth and significant demographic shifts since the 1970’s
