Fire Museum Records and DMusic.com proudly present the Fire Museum Records/Majmua Music label showcase. The evening begins with two artists whom have releases slated for release on Majmua Music. First up, vocalist & harmonium player Aditi Tahiti (joined this evening by Nasrudra on saxophone) sets the scene, performing music influenced by her upcoming release The Time Canvas (to be released later this year) and more. Recently relocated to New York, this will be Aditi's first performance in Philadelphia.

Up next, Philadelphia's own Eric Carbonara has been winning rave reviews for his solo acoustic guitar music as heard on Exodus Bulldornadius (Locust Music). Carbonara's playing draws on the rich musical styles from Andalusian Roma-Flamenco to Hindustani & North African folk to form a kind of exalted pidgin style of playing that covers a wide emotional terrain from meditative calm to restless unease.

George Korein has developed a reputation in the Philadelphia musical underground for being a true musical iconoclast. Moving from no-wave moods to textured noise works to improvisation and catchy pop moments (sometimes in the course of the same song), we can't guarantee that George's set will resemble at all the sounds to be found on Another Corpse, which is the debut release on Majmua Music.

Hailing from Montreal, Dora Bleu is the latest group led by Dorothy Geller, previously of From Quagmire (VHF Records) and Laconic Chamber (Camera Obscura). Her music can be considered “of folk” while not referencing traditional folk forms, anchored by a very explicative voice and guitar playing with an accompaniment that is alternatively unified song form or seemingly improvised depending on what is required in the moment.

Alan Sondheim is perhaps best known in musical circles for his pair of recordings on the legendary ESP Disk label, but his first recording, The Songs was released on Riverboat Records in 1967 (and has been reissued on Fire Museum Records). The multi instrumentalist returned with his first proper release of new recordings in almost 20 years with the release of Skin/n in 2006 on Fire Museum Records. Appearing in Philadelphia for the first time, this year will also see the release of "Boojum", a recording of experimental lounge music.

The event is sponsored by DMusic.com , the oldest online independent music community. DMusic provides musicians with a free hosting platform to showcase their music, as well as an active community of helpful musicians and fans. The show will be available for streaming soon after the show at www.dmusic.com
