   About rara avis

On 25 March, Rara Avis will proudly present their debut album One Fell Swoop at the Badcuyp in Amsterdam.
"It's a listening CD, which is a good sign..."
Yannis Kyriakides

artwork by Jon Keegan

"In bridging the awesome gap between the recorder and percussion, Rara Avis also bridges the medieval world and the postmodern, creating a quirky soundworld of noise-rimmed folk songs and atonal estampies that sounds like it never existed, but should have."
Kyle Gann

Strange birds, travelling through a variety of genres, cultures and eras.

Their approach happily crosses the boundaries between composition and improvisation, freely weaving together medieval dances, South Indian techniques, contemporary compositions, electronics, improvisatory elements and unexpected sound events into an unbroken tale.
