Brave New Music
20, 21, 22 March | The Arches, Glasgow, Scotland, UK
NYC percussionist/ thinker/ wanderer. Tokyo acoustic laptop improviser/ composer/ agitator.
Sean plays just a snare drum, with cymbals or forks. He produces electronic, rattling tones from them using a dowel and friction. With really impeccable timing, Taku sets off tiny motors and beaters on top of a resonant wooden board.
These are two of the most interesting improvisers around21, both with a really refined, personal idea of what music could be. They share an interest in structure, space and time. Expect this set to be pretty spartan, abstract, considered and surprisingly musical.
21In our opinion at least.
