test tone vol.06

Yesterday’s test tone vol.6 at Super Deluxe was- again- a superb experimental event. Always finding interesting musicians to collaborate and cutting-edge performers, this time, CAL from Soundispatch did not only have music by Legofriendly and Soundworm, but also brought along a huge performance crew: the YAN-SHU Butoh Troupe with improvising musicians: Brett Larner (koto), Ezra Woolnough (clarinet), Dave McMahon (guitar, electronics), MORIO (guitar) and goboujin (laptop). An audio-visual-emotional treat, for those who like the surreal. The whole performance was entirely improvised and featured established dancers like Shinichi Momo Koga (US), Kim Yong-Chul (Korea), Miki Sato (Japan) and Yan-Shu (Zulu Tsuruyama, Japan) himself. The big crew of dancers came from all sorts of countries such as Japan, Korea, Canada, US, Spain and Montenegro. I was touched by some improvisation skills and most of all blown away by Shinichi’s facial expression. Amazing! Yan- Shu and his friends have a big performance weekend coming up at Die Pratze in Kagurazaka from August 12. -15. If you are interested in Butoh or simply long for a little different inspiration - this is worth a visit!

14. I wish I had the patience to do all that, and the confidence to prance around posing for photos once it’s all done.

15. So “improvement” does not necessarily mean “make it look all futuristic and cool ooh this would look great in my new hover car”. However, the rash of designers setting out to improve the design of the humble clothes hanger are actually managing to combine some pleasing designs with a marked improvement in the actual functionality of the design, too. Well, most are.
