New Sound Sanctuary Live Performance東京都初耳区 ライブ・パフォーマンス

Eager to discover new music that we had never experienced, we established “New Sound Sanctuary” in 2013 and expanded it 2014. We envisioned it as a place for both new and experienced artists to share a stage and stimulate new forms of expression. We are excited to open the gate to the Sanctuary again this year for it's third installment. For the past two years we have encouraged musicians from throughout Japan regardless of career or genre to apply and perform on the stage at SuperDeluxe for New Sound Sanctuary. Since we received such a large number of quality applications during the first two years, this year we’ve decided to select new artists from the deep pool of 2013 and 2014 applications. We are also excited to present two world-class innovators as guest artists: Joe Morris and Masami Tada. Please come to our haven and experience new worlds of sound as emerging artists join an intense history of musical expression!

(Kyuryudo). “What is it to establish the fundamentals of art? The act to gravitate to sound itself, or to be nonverbally and properly thorough about an idea. What has been left from used and broken Western-folklore instruments: materials such as Japanese bamboo, dead branches (stems), round stones, pieces of wood, rubber bands or piano wires. There is air, when touching and giving vibrations to these materials: the body, sense of touch and hearing. It is impossible to explain the balance between them and how to take ‘pauses.’ Presentation of a “space” in the total environmentm, rather than creating ecoes in the electronic circuit, by grabbing the experience: that happens only for a moment.” [Masami Tada Homepage](http://tada-masami.com/) Gaiamamoo  An improvisation unit formed in 2012 by two young musicians based in Tokyo, Shogo Haraguchi and Mehata Sentimental Legend. They started to play around Koenji, toured four nothern and southern cities in Spain next year, and was featured by Spanish TV and radio. In 2013, a Spanish art magazine “ARTICULATE” introduced their activity. Employing diverse technologies and expressions and exploring visual images inspired by “abstract” colors, shapes, patterns and movements as well as synchronization of sonic stimulations from tones and noises, they musically compose through improvisation.

We want to find music that is floral and aromatic like a commercial film of new cosmetics.” Although they are inclined to electronica, in live performances, they play in a light style like Peruvian street musicians or shishi-mai (lion dance) door-to-door entertainers. Chaotic sampling tracks, vocals in between poetry reading and rap, and comfortable sonic image that is rather drowsy than psychedelic. Apparently avant-garde, neither aggressive nor complicated, and uniquely gentle. You have to listen to it anyway, since their music cannot be compared to anything else. (Atsushi Horibe, Seikosha) Takehito Kinoshita  Influenced by electronica and improvisation scenes, he started in 2005 to create tracks and perform mainly in Tokyo and Yokohama. He has also contributed compositions to visual and dance works and performed as an actor in contemporary dance, theatre and visual works. Joe Morris  He began playing guitar in 1969, double bass in 2000. He co-founded Boston Improvisers Group (BIG) in 1981, then started Riti Records and released his first recording in 1983. He cites Cecil Taylor, Eric Dolphy, Leroy Jenkins, Thelonious Monk, Jimi Hendrix, Anthony Braxton, Jimmy Lyons, Ornette Coleman and traditional West African string music as major influences. He has performed and recorded with many of the leading figures in free music. Morris has performed extensively throughout North America and Europe. He currently leads various groups and performs in collective ensembles, as well as performing solo, and as a freelance guitarist and double bassist. He is featured as leader, co-leader, and sideman on more than 120 recordings to date.
