Voices and Echoes 2-night pass

PLEASE NOTE LOCATION CHANGE:
Abrons Arts Center, 466 Grand Street, NYC

"Voices and Echoes," presented by ISSUE Project Room in collaboration with curator Aki Onda, brings together pioneering Japanese artists Akio Suzuki, Gozo Yoshimasu, and Otomo Yoshihide. Sound artist Akio Suzuki will perform on a range of unique instruments including an ancient stone flute (Iwabue) passed down through his family for many generations and Analapos an instrument he invented in the 1970s that creates echoes through the acoustic transmissions of a spiral cord stretched between two metal cylinders. Experimental poet Gozo Yoshimasu will perform works utilizing his unique "vocalization" style of recitation, which relies upon a highly rhythmic delivery and intense vocal modulations. Yoshimasu will perform in collaboration with Otomo Yoshihide, an experimental guitarist/turntablist and leading international figure in the fields of contemporary noise and improv.
