筆で書かれた言葉の余情と

光と音に視覚化された「動」

奏でられる音の余韻

書と光と音が一つになって

その空間に響く生の軌跡

風韻悠然 神韻縹渺 光韻一縷 余韻遥遥

 

elegance in calmness,

transcendence in the art,

a ray of light lingering,

reverberation from afar

ABOUT ARTISTS

 

Corey Fuller  コリー・フラー

Born in the US and raised in Japan, Corey Fuller is a musician and multimedia artist from Tokyo, Japan. Growing up between several different cultures and traveling extensively as a child have made geography and a sense of place major components of Fuller’s music. His work is a slow and gradual music composed of infinitesimal details comprised of processed and delicately treated acoustic instruments, field recordings, and other sound sources. In addition to his work as a solo artist, Fuller finds his collaborations with other artists invaluable. Besides his work with Date as ILLUHA, Fuller has collaborated with Ryuichi Sakamoto, Taylor Deupree, Marcus Fischer, Simon Scott, Stephan Mathieu and others on releases and tours. Following a slew of collaborative releases, 2016 will see the release of Fuller’s long anticipated second solo album, following the critically acclaimed Seas Between.

Project Details

Date: October 23, 2016

Three artists from San Francisco, Berlin and Tokyo gather at Les Moulins de Paillard Contemporary Arts Centre, located in Poncé-sur-le-Loir, France, to create a conceptual, collaborative and improvised performance in which Japanese calligraphy, e-textiles and sound art come together.  In a series of three site-specific performances, the large scale calligraphy paintings of Aoi Yamaguchi and the electro-acoustic sounds composed by Corey Fuller are bridged by Mika Satomi’s costume and e-textile technologies. The dynamic movement of the calligrapher is translated into light and sound through a sensor embedded costume. The soundscape is composed of acoustic piano and a modular synthesizer system which receive signals generated by the movements of the calligrapher and are translated into sound. The performance is a process of constant improvisation between interpretation and expression made by the calligrapher, the musician and the technology.
