The Oracle Hysterical
feat. Brad Balliett, Doug Balliett and Elliot Cole
Brad and Doug Balliett, twin brothers from New York, describe themselves as an “avant-garde rap dyad.” Together with students of jazz and classical music at the Lucerne School of Music, they will present two programs. “Songs and Songes,” on 7 September, will display the lyrical side of The Oracle Hysterical; and on 11 September, “11th Night” will blend rap, composed material, sampling, and complex beats in a dynamic mélange: a way of “storytelling” for the 21st century.
