As electronic musicians working with new tools, new methods and new sounds, often the challenge lies in how to play with other musicians. To establish an equal relationship between new and traditional instruments within musical structures is a difficult task, and we often see one merely becoming a substitute to the other. Our next STEIM concert will feature two groups that tackle this issue through very different approaches.
d.v.d is one of the newest sensations in Japan, crossing over to the mainstream with their drum-controlled electro-pop visual performance. The two drummer are literally “players” in both the musical sense and a Nintendo sense. Diaspo Rama, lead by STEIM’s 2008 artistic advisor Tarek Atoui, is an energetic trio that explores complex rhythmic structure within the context of electro acoustic and improvised music. It will be a truly drumatic night at STEIM…
