A new generation of Japanese sound artists Kanta Horio (live) . Taeji Sawai (live) Atsuhiro Ito (Optron . live) . Dim Koast (dj) mercredi 19 Avril / Wednesday April 19 . 10 $ Zoobizare . 6388 St-Hubert . Montréal . 20h30 / 8:30 PM TAEJI SAWAI The sounds of our multi-functional daily existence are supplied by various information systems. Sawai explores the possibilities of a total auditory design derived from these unconsciously experienced sounds by mixing and amplifying them into extreme ultra- or infrasonic frequencies, confounding our usual sensory division of sound into "waves perceptible by hearing" and "vibration perceptible through touch." As a participant in portable [k]ommunity, Taeji Sawai creates electronic art "with the use of bugs or effects like bugs produced by large amounts of high quality data." Sawai has also performed with cell/66b and aeo, along with Eye from The Boredoms and Kazuhiro Jo of SWQ, appearing at venues ranging from Ars Electronica to John Zorn's birthday party. EM#2 (KANTA HORIO) A large electromagnet is connected to an audio amplifier used as an electric power amplifier. The audio signals input into the amplifier cause significant rise in the magnetic field. A large number of paper clips are set under the electromagnet that is dangled on a mic stand and audio signals actuate the paperclips. Various patterns of paperclip motion are generated by different frequencies of the audio signal. The state of the paperclips is recorded with a video camera and displayed in real time on a screen behind the performer. Kanta Horio studied acoustics and sound art at the Kyushu Institute of Design in Fukuoka. He builds various junk gadgets and contraptions with or without electronic devices and presents sound/visual performances with them and a laptop computer. OPTRON (ATSUHIRO ITO) "Whirr Extreme Optical Noise Core that consists of the Anomaly Hard-core Punk approach, and the original sound optical instrument, OPTRON that outputs amplified noise discharged by fluorescent lights. Thoroughly original in the respects of without using melody playing instruments and live performance that is not gentle to the eyes or ears either." -- Atsuhiro Ito Atsuhiro Ito is perhaps best known as the founder and organizer of the Tokyo gallery/free space Off Site, a crucial venue for the Japanese onkyo music scene. Since 1998 he has been presenting sound performances with fluorescent lighting using a musical device of his own invention, the optron.
