Very excited to go see NYC / Japanese electronic musician Ikue Mori tonight at The Japan Society. I've actually been listening to a lot of her music for the last six months, mainly because of her very distinct and skillfully unique way of handling drum machines and digital devices. Tonight's concert will feature Mori's acclaimed solo over silent films by Maya Deren in its U.S. debut, plus Mori performing with two of her main collaborations: Phantom Orchard with harpist Zeena Parkins and guest percussionist Cyro Baptista; and the electro-acoustic trio Mephista with Sylvie Courvoisier (piano) and Susie Ibarra (percussion).
Here's a cool interview with Ikue from this weeks Time Out.
