Timbre Sessions 4 at HAUS KCH this weekend
KUCHING: Local creative community hub HAUS KCH will host a two- day music showcase titled ‘ Timbre Sessions 4’, this Saturday and Sunday.
The event, to be hosted by HAUS KCH’s music collective ‘ Timbre’, is set to commence at 8pm on both days.
Timbre Sessions is a new platform for local talent to gain exposure, and aims to assist the growth of the local music industry.
Timbre, collective of youngsters from varying backgrounds, is spearheaded by sound engineers Oliver Josiah Tiong and Farouk Kamil, zoologist Serene Davies, and Syed Ashraf Al Edruce who leads two well- known local bands, a ‘Meruked’ and ‘South China Sea’.
Timbre is set up within HAUS KCH, a communal music space that strives to accommodate both young and seasoned players of the local music scene.
“In addition to acquainting Kuching with Timbre’s intention of kickstarting the local music scene here — as there are so many underrated artists that deserve a little recognition — we want to launch the newly renovated performance and rehearsal space that will be able to accommodate 80 people comfortably,” said Ashraf, a 24-year- old Lim Kok Wing architecture graduate who maintains that Timbre Sessions is aimed at championing underexposed talent in the local music scene.
The event will feature seven acoustic homegrown acts that will showcase a broad spectrum of modern genres including pop, indie, folk, hip hop and a cappella. The event will be hosted within HAUS KCH’s top floor, with an entry fee of RM20 per person.
Each ticket entitles the holder to all-night access to the event, a set of cheesy wedges from Sanjuro Cafe, and a canned drink.
HAUS KCH is located at Lot 216 of Block 226, Jalan Capital Garden here. To view a map to their exact location, visit their Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/ hauskch/.
