ARTIFACT - An Experimental Sound Series

About

Tatsuya Nakatani is an avant-garde percussionist, composer, & artist of sound. Active internationally since the 1990s, Nakatani has released over 80 recordings & tours extensively, performing over 150 concerts a year. His primary focus is his solo work & his large ensemble project, the Nakatani Gong Orchestra. He teaches master classes & lectures at universities & music conservatories around the world. Originally from Japan, he makes his home in the desert town of Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. Jonah Parzen-Johnson makes music for baritone saxophone & flute that challenges listeners with experimental textures & forms while embracing them with warm approachable melodies. A Chicago native & longtime Brooklyn resident, Jonah has performed solo in more than a dozen countries across four continents. His solo performances are a deeply intimate experience, as he endeavors to share who he is, how he sees our world, & the temporary moments of community that we can all embrace together. Vocalist Alex Koi & cellist Kirin McElwain’s duo project combines tightly-coiled songwriting with extended improvisations, creating a sound world that oscillates between the avant-garde, neo-classical, & industrial noise.
