Tzadik Label Music Series III:
Ikue Mori - Celebrating 30 years of Life, Love & Music in NYC
Friday, March 21, 7:30 PM
Saturday, March 22, 7:30 PM
at the Japan Society
Curated by John Zorn. Presented in association with Tzadik Drummer,
composer & laptop wizard Ikue Mori moved to New York in 1977 and has
since launched a multi-faceted career as a musician. After forming
seminal no-wave band DNA with Arto Lindsay, Mori used drum machines
to create her own highly sensitive signature style of improvisation
and experimental music; she received the Distinctive Award for Prix
Ars Electronica Digital Music in 1999. Mori's activities in the realm
of music and media are wide-ranging and diverse, including performing
in several bands and collaborating with international artists. She
displays her versatile and virtuosic range over two evenings at Japan
Society.
March 21: Mori takes the stage with Bhima Swarga comprised of Mori,
Matt Welch and Gamelan Dharma Swara gamelan ensemble and accompanied
by video animation also by Mori, followed by a world premiere
collaboration between Mori and extreme vocal artist Makigami Koichi.
March 22: Mori's acclaimed solo over silent films by Maya Deren, as
presented at London's Tate Modern, makes its U.S. debut. Next, Mori
performs 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).
