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.

Byetone + Alva Noto = Diamond Version

Oh yes. Can’t get enough.

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.

the tracks microon I-III contain recordings of one of the 15 pianos using a 16th tone interval tuning built by sauter, spaichingen/donaueschingen, germany. the original ‘piano metamorfoseador en dieciseisavos de tono’ was designed by julián carrillo trujillo. thanks to the music department of berne university of the arts for making this instrument available.


included in the album are two cover versions of the track ‘by this river’ originally written by roedelius, moebius and brian eno in 1977. in their instrumental versions of the song nicolai and sakamoto create and investigate the song’s appeal in both normal speed and slow motion.”

Of course, looking forward to it. Predictable me.
