Artist Information:

Akira Sakata (sax, clarinet, voc.)

Akira Sakata was born in Kure-city, Hiroshima in 1945. Studied marine biology at Hiroshima university. Formed a group Saibo-bunretsu (Cell fission) in Tokyo in 1969, and was also performing with various free-jazz musicians during this time. Since the late 1960s, Sakata has been a constant figure in jazz and creative music scenes as an ever evolving and adventurous, multi-instrumentalist, and member of classic groups such as Yamashita Yosuke Trio, from 1972 till 1979, and Wha-ha-ha plus many of his own, like the Sakata Akira mii. He has recorded with Chris Cosey, Peter Brotzmann in Last Exit, DJ Krush, Yoshimio, and others.
In 2005 he began peforming with guitarist Jim O’Rourke, drummer Chris Corsano and acoustic bassist Darin Gray. They’ve since released three albums together. Friendly Pants is the first American release by Sakata in more than 20 years. It pairs the 65-year-old traveler alongside bombast Chikamorachi (Corsano/Gray) and O’Rourke as the producer.

Susana Santos Silva (trumpet)

Susana Santos Silva is a Portuguese trumpeter, improviser and composer based in Stockholm, Sweden.
‘One of the most exciting improvisers in the world’ (Downbeat), Susana has a singular artistic approach that comes out of a comprehensive spectrum of influences from classical and contemporary music to jazz and textural sound art. She draws inspiration and works with other artistic expressions like image/video and body movement/dance. She is interested in expanding the sonic possibilities of her instrument, and creatively exploring the dissolution of boundaries of perception, genre and media.
Besides her solo practice, she has been working with her bands Impermanence and Life and Other Transient Storms and with collaborative projects with Kaja Draksler, Torbjörn Zetterberg, Hampus Lindwall, Ellen Arkbro, just to name a few.
Much in demand she has been playing with an array of different projects and with musicians such as Anthony Braxton, Fred Frith, Evan Parker, Joëlle Léandre, Mat Maneri, Paul Lovens, Hamid Drake, Mats Gustafsson, Lotter Anker, Sten Sandell, Catherine Christer Hennix and the Ictus Ensemble, among many others.

Giovanni Di Domenico (Fender Rhodes)

Pianist. Born in Rome on the 20th July 1977. Majoring in ‘jazz piano’ at music school – he further built on an encyclopedic technique; rhythm, harmony and tone are informed by non-western traditions yet equally sensitive to Debussy’s “Préludes”, Luciano Berio’s “Sequenzas”, to the ‘ambi-ideation’ heard in Borah Bergman’s Soul Note recordings, Cecil Taylor’s polissemic density, Paul Bley’s bruised transparency and of course, the most radical manifestations stemming from the underworld of pop music, invariably tied together by his own original praxis. A distinction – one would call it generational – he shares with many of the musicians he has crossed paths with recently, of which we could enumerate Akira Sakata, Chris Corsano, Arve Henriksen, Jim O’Rourke, Alexandra Grimal, Tetuzi Akiyama, João Lobo or Toshimaru Nakamura. Di Domenico has founded his own label, Silent Water, home of an eclectic and occasionally unclassifiable production. He lives in Brussels.

Kaho Kogure (dance)

Dancer/Choreographer. Began dancing when she was 6 years old. She has worked on her own solo pieces since 2012, with joining other performances at theater, music live, social media in variety scenes. She has worked with many choreographers, such as Akira Kasai. Currently she has been collaborating with various art projects, musicians and films then also choreographing for that like musical theater, commercials, movies and more. Repetitive experience what goes around is motivated for her dancing.

Akiko Nakayama (Alive Painting)

Akiko Nakayama’s work takes the classic medium of painting to unexpected and post-modern places. With a method she calls “Alive Painting,” the Japanese artist brings her experimental music to life using vibrant, brilliant liquids that combine and wash away, meant to represent the natural growth, change and life cycle of all things on earth. Familiar shapes take form before melting into each other and taking on new characteristics, a type of living art that mirrors her abstract music. As her sounds mutate through textures soft and hard, resonant and soothing, so do her liquids mimic those sounds, creating a visual paradigm that represents some of the most mind-blowing effects you’d see at any festival—except they’re happening in real life, right at her fingers.
