Essential New Music: Tashi Dorji’s "We Will Be Wherever The Fires Are Lit" - Magnet Magazine

Instrumental music has its limits as a way of advocating for social change, and Tashi Dorji knows this. But he isn’t a guy who’s gotten where he is today by backing down when things get hard. After all, the guitarist figured out how to make it from his birthplace in the tiny South Asian country of Bhutan to the U.S., where he’s lived for the past quarter century. Then, Dorji topped that feat by supporting a family by playing improvised music, which he got into through the side door by scouring the internet for shared files of free improvisation while rooming with anarchist punks. Dorji doen’t just advocate for perseverance—he perseveres. So, let’s note the intentions signaled by his titles and consider how they might influence this LP’s sounds.
