Instead of the one-way monologue of normal performance, what would be the result of an actual collective dialogue? Where would it go?
What is the radical concept at the core of ‘rhythm’, expanded from simply musical or mathematical notions to encompass personal, social, collective rhythms?
Haino exceeds expectation with a 4 hour solo performance on a collection of more than forty instruments from all over the world.
Three intense solo performances for drums (both played and screamed through), cymbal, voice, credit card, bird whistle, and guitar amplifier/leads.
Investigating the border between the audible and the visible means looking at the margins, the edges of creativity where artists test out new boundaries and define them anew.
