Akio Suzuki: Conceptual Soundwork

Pioneering Japanese sound artist Akio Suzuki has created improvised and transitory performances since the 1960s, investigating the acoustic qualities of selected locations. His intensive involvement with the phenomena of pulse and echo led him to develop his own instruments, many of which employ quotidian and modest objects. In 1978, during a 40-day run of performances in Paris, Suzuki adapted his process to accommodate ever-changing materials, acquiring new sound-making materials daily from the home goods section of the La Samaritaine department store. He adopted the title Conceptual Soundwork for this rule-based series of works, in which he replaced his existing instruments with found materials. Suzuki presents four pieces from the series in an acoustic solo performance Friday, March 18th, 8pm at ISSUE Project Rooms 22 Boerum Place theater.
