Diamond Version - Operate at your optimum (mode operator bsp.A) (by SonarFestival)

Noto + Byetone + Atsuhiro Ito’s Optron.

Full approval.

Just realized that I’ve seen all three do their thing live, but not together.  A collabo makes good sense.

solarflares:

Byetone + Alva Noto = Diamond Version

Oh yes. Can’t get enough.

Anne-James Chaton - jeudi 22 janvier 2009 /événement n°20

“Anne-James Chaton has developed a multipolar body of work, based on a close study of the textual materials which make up the everyday life of contemporary society. 

This “poor’ literature, known as «ephemera», comprising a multitude of documents printed out by innumerable machines -  bank slips, shopping receipts, promotional flyers, customer loyalty cards, business cards, bus, train and metro tickets, etc. – is the source of Anne-James’ quests into sound, poetry and visual art, which he develops through solo projects and in collaboration with artists from diverse fields.”

So this is happening in Kyoto come October: Alva Noto, Byetone, Aoki Takamasa, Vladislav Delay, agf, Anne-James Chatton, etc…

Going.

Kinda stoked.

/Carsten Nicolai lecture is sold out though. Kinda disappointed, thought it might have come bundled with the ticket price…ah well!

// All-night show. This excites me but there is the issue of travel/work/responsbilities in the morning. I think I’m getting old.

///After a few visits, I still have the occasional “OMG Japan tech moment”: you can buy concert tickets/pay bills at Lawson (24-hour convenience store a la 7-11).

////Found out I missed OOIOO/Eye and Masonna by a few weeks, and no good gigs coming in the immediate future. Boo. That’s actually easier on the pocketbook and I have the above show to look forward to.
