THIS SHOW IS STRICTLY 18+

One of the Titans of Japanese contemporary music, guitarist, composer and sound artist Otomo Yoshihide will perform solo on electric guitar.

Yoshihide – who recently held the position of Sapporo International Arts Festival Artistic Director – is an artist and thought leader who’s creativity stretches across many genres and sonic terrains. The artist encourages the listener to open the mind to beautiful auditory worlds.

Yoshihide is supported by 2 collaborative projects that fuse the sound worlds of Japanese and Australian artists.

Traveling to Australia after a string of performances in Taipei and Japan, Uminari Trio represents the sonic communion between three artists:

Morishige Yasumune: bass/cello

Cal Lyall: guitar/banjo

James Hulllick: prepared piano

Everything is improvised, though falling into self-similar sonic places that the trio will visit in each concert. These sonic places have beginnings and endings — shaped like pieces — but for the trio they are continuations that play out through multiple performances. It’s an elegant intertwining sound that arises from acoustic instruments: cello; banjo; guitar; prepared piano; sometimes voice; that can be amplified and electronically translated or left in their acoustic domains.

Uminari will release the album ‘if only the stone’, on this tour.

Noise Scavengers is a sound art ensemble including artists living with neurodiversities. The ensemble has been mentored through the JOLT Arts. Noise Scavengers are excited to be collaborating with acclaimed Japanese vocalist, composer, and artistic director, Tomomi Adachi. Together the artists will perform the structured improvised work “Teliovox”, which will be launched as an album for the tour. The work was developed, performed and recorded in Japan.

This project is supported by the Australia Japan Foundation.
