Today, William Hooker and Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth have unveiled a music video for their “Shamballah” collaboration featuring performance footage.
Shamballa is the 1993 collaboration between jazz drummer William Hooker, Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth), and composer Elliott Sharp. The release features Hooker performing duets with each musician. Hooker and Moore’s performance is littered with bursts of feedback and distortion, while the collaboration with Sharp is characterized by a more electronic sound, building a sense of technology.
The pieces will be released on vinyl for the first time as a double LP for Record Store Day 2023, limited to 1,500 copies, via Org Music and Record Store Day.
