PROGRAMME:
KUMIKO OKAMURA
PHILIPPE CHATELAIN
CHRISTOPHE CHARLES
KUMIKO OKAMURA, voice and guitar, 30 mn
Composer, Improviser.
Born in 1975 in Niigata, based in Tokyo.
Kumiko performs without a mission, and in no specific genre. There are neither conscious influences nor obvious sources of inspiration. The performance can be very wild or sensitive and delicate. It may sound optimistic or pessimistic and move into unexplored territory. It might value simplicity over complexity, and shifts the emphasis from what an artist 'makes' to the artist's creative practice, personality and actions.
PHILIPPE CHATELAIN " les 3 genres ", 30mn, 2009
les 3 genres (the three levels), 30mn, 2009
Sound piece for spoken voices, field recordings et electronic sounds
in french and japanese, translation: Yasuhiro Matshushita
the 3 levels is based on a recording of Gilles Deleuze lesson about Spinoza's three levels of knowledge. Using fragments of the recording,

CHRISTOPHE CHARLES, live electronic, 30 mn
I am trying to provide a music where past, present and future can be heard simultaneously, that is, where everything is given at once and where we can hear the primary chaos, the nothingness at the origin of all things.
(born Marseille-France 1964) works with found sounds, and makes compositions using computer programs, insisting on the autonomy of each sound and the absence of hierarchical structure. Currently Associate Professor at Musashino Art University (Tokyo), has released music ("undirected" series) on Mille Plateaux, Ritornell, Subrosa, Code, Cirque, Cross, X-tract, CCI, ICC, etc. Collaborations with Henning Christiansen, Shiomi Mieko, Chino Shuichi, Markus Popp, Hanno Yoshihiro/hoon, Kako Yuzo, Yamaguchi Katsuhiro, Yamamoto Keigo, Visual Brains, Osaka Takuro, Ishii Mitsutaka, Kazakura Sho, Osanai Mari, Ishikawa Fukurow, Salvanilla, etc.
