Diamond Version - Operate at your optimum (mode operator bsp.A) (by SonarFestival)

Full approval.

Just realized that I’ve seen all three do their thing live, but not together.  A collabo makes good sense.

Byetone - Black Peace

Symeta is still on heavy rotation here, usually in the car. The above is a worthwhile listen, and an amazing live. Most joyous drop of 2011.

Anne-James Chaton — Événements 09

Listen

Anne-James Chaton - jeudi 22 janvier 2009 /événement n°20

“Anne-James Chaton has developed a multipolar body of work, based on a close study of the textual materials which make up the everyday life of contemporary society. 

This “poor’ literature, known as «ephemera», comprising a multitude of documents printed out by innumerable machines -  bank slips, shopping receipts, promotional flyers, customer loyalty cards, business cards, bus, train and metro tickets, etc. – is the source of Anne-James’ quests into sound, poetry and visual art, which he develops through solo projects and in collaboration with artists from diverse fields.”

\\Hoooo boy, I. Am. Wiped. 8am Japan time. Been up for 24 hours, but worth it. Just got back from Raster-Noton show in Kyoto…. Metro is a great little club, and haven’t been to Kyoto for a while. Lovely city.  In short: AGF= interesting textures and snippets of speech, but a little too self-consciously performance-arty and poetic. Still pleasant to experience bodily on a huge soundsystem.  Conversely, French language/sound poet Anne-James Chaton’s set was intense: reading strings of data from world events in monotone baritone in time with concussive clusters of sampled voice. His latest album, Evenements 09 is shortlisted for the “Best of 2011” list….  Vladislav Delay= a little disappointing. Always great for home listening (Huone is a perennial fave), but his ambient textural drift seemed unfocussed. While not a fan of his recorded output beyond his collabo with Noriko Tujiko, in the live setting, Aoki Takamasa was delightfully funky. Alva Noto delivered by doing Alva Noto- my first time seeing him and it was absolutely compelling.  Good rock’nroll.  And Byetone crushed it. Surprised? Not at all.  Fan? Me? Not at all. The highlight of the night was also the most surprising, where as a finale before the DJ’s started (at 5am!) Noto and Byetone broke from their press-kit roles as serious, cerebral and austere artists and in lieu of an encore, threw down an impromptu DJ set, messily weaving grime, dubstep, straight-up house, that Michael Jackson/Residents mashup, into James Brown and into 80s territory with Madonna, Joy Division and Visage.  It was a full-on drunken dance party with the pair chainsmoking, doing shots and clowning on stage with the crowd responding in kind. There’s video of that to come, and it was the most fun I’ve had in a long while.  Best show of the year.

So this is happening in Kyoto come October: Alva Noto, Byetone, Aoki Takamasa, Vladislav Delay, agf, Anne-James Chatton, etc… Going. Kinda stoked. /After a few visits, I still have the occasional “OMG Japan tech moment”: you can buy concert tickets/pay bills at Lawson (24-hour convenience store a la 7-11). //Found out I missed OOIOO/Eye and Masonna by a few weeks, and no good gigs coming in the immediate future. Boo. That’s actually easier on the pocketbook and I have the above show to look forward to.
