We are so pleased to welcome back to Bloomington-Normal the one and only, Tatsuya Nakatani!!!
Nakatani is coming through to serve up his enthralling solo percussion. He will also be joined by Yea Big and Jon Byler Dann for a trio performance.
You may remember, Tatsuya performed a rousing evening of music last year in Peoria with his Nakatani Gong Orchestra. This time his offering will be much more intimate. You will not want to miss this.
More info about Tatsuya Nakatani:
Tatsuya Nakatani is an avant-garde percussionist, composer, and artist of sound. Active internationally since the 1990s, Nakatani has released over 80 recordings and tours extensively, performing over 150 concerts a year. His primary focus is his solo work and his large ensemble project, the Nakatani Gong Orchestra. He teaches master classes and lectures at universities and music conservatories around the world. Originally from Japan, he makes his home in the desert town of Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. With his activity in new music, improvisation, and experimental music, Nakatani has a long history of collaboration.
Nakatani's distinctive music centered around his adapted bowed gong, supported by an array of drums, cymbals, and singing bowls. In consort with his personally hand-carved Kobo Bows, he has spent decades refining and developing his sound as an arrangement of formations of vibrations, incorporated in shimmering layers of silence and texture. Within this contemporary work, one can still recognize the dramatic pacing, formal elegance and space (ma) felt in traditional Japanese music.
