Amok & OK at Avant Garde a Clue II

Amok & OK emerged from the friendship and sonic dynamism of clarinetist Amy Zuidema and multi-instrumentalist Bubba Crumrine. Their compositions embrace unapologetic, raw emotion and alchemize it into otherworldly sonic terrains through improvisation, colliding ethereal ambience with the intensity of noise to transform each performance into a singular, cathartic experience. The ethos of Amok & OK is rooted in queer identity, curating safe inclusive spaces, and breaking free from the imprints thrust upon us.
