A selection of photos from the Minor Musics Japan Tour 2014 featuring Ché-SHIZU, à qui avec Gabriel, and Maher Shalal Hash Baz, on September 19th and 20th, 2014, photographed by Bradley Beuhring.
Past
Minor Musics Japan opens with Ché-Shizu, an improv-folk group led by Chie Mukai. Since 1981 they have recontextualized folk instruments and electronics in spontaneous actions that are lyrical, compelling, and endearingly unpolished. Mukai also plays duo with LLILW GRAY, alias of No-Neck Blues Band's Keith Connolly.
More
Chie Mukai leads an improvisation workshop, sharing experiences from thirty years of site-specific performance and improvisation. This workshop continues a teaching practice begun in 2001, it is free and open to 25 practitioners of sound and movement (RSVP required), and also to an audience of observers.
