LEE PATTERSON, RIE NAKAJIMA, DAICHI YOSHIKAWA

24 September 2013 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm

The night is a collaboration between three improvising musicians Lee Patterson, Daichi Yoshikawa and Rie Nakajima.
Lee Patterson builds his own instruments, whose small sounds are amplified to produce an astonishing range of sonic textures. He has played and collaborated with musicians from all over the world including Vanessa Rossetto, Luke Fowler, David Toop, Sachiko M and Radu Malfatti.

Rie Nakajima was born in Japan in 1976, and lives and works in London. Nakajima works with installations and performances that produce sound. Her works are most often composed in direct response to unique architectural spaces using a combination of audio materials and found objects. She is the current associate artist at Café OTO, London.
Having studied art in her native Japan, she completed a BA in Sculpture at the Chelsea College of Art and Design and an MA in Sculpture at the Slade School of Fine Art, London. Nakajima has exhibited and performed widely, both in the UK and overseas.

Daichi Yoshikawa is one of the most interesting young improvising musician currently based in London. Using a variety of inverted, diverted and reinvented electronic and acoustic devices he strikes a constantly evolving balance between harsh atonal feedback and elegant high-frequency constructions.

This will be the first time these three musicians, one British two Japanese, will have played all together.
Setting up encounters like this is an essential part of what Cafe OTO does and this spirit of cultural exchange feels in keeping with Japan400.

Tickets, priced £3, can be brought in cash at the venue on the night of the performance only.
