[microsound] dumb type: [OR] with Ryoji Ikeda
Has anyone seen [OR]? any thoughts?
Also, does anyone know if R. Ikeda is actually performing w/ Dumb Type or if
they're just using his compositions?
below is the only info I've found for the show that even mentions Ikeda:
dumb type: [OR] with Ryoji Ikeda
On the Boards, 100 W Roy, SEATTLE
"Based in Kyoto, Japan, dumb type is a multifaceted ensemble whose
members include artists originally trained in the visual arts,
architecture, music composition, computer programming, and the
performing arts. Their projects range from gallery installations to
publications to performance works and have appeared throughout
Europe, Asia, and the U.S. [OR] combines sophisticated technology with
nontraditional theater practice to explore some of today's most
pressing cultural concerns and offers an exciting glimpse into the
techno-theatrical experimentation emerging in Japan today."
Musical accompaniment by electronic music innovator Ryoji Ikeda:
"This is one musician willing to dive completely off the edge of the
map... Ultimately Ikeda seems to be encompassing Stockhausen's insight
that rhythms and frequencies are just the same thing perceived at very
different speeds." (The Wire)
