May 15, The Creamery, 216 W. Birch in Rogers // 6:30 doors, 7 pm show | We’re baaaaaaack! Don’t miss a sonic exploration with experimental percussionist Tatsuya Nakatani. You may remember when he performed the Nakatani Gong Orchestra program with participants who may have been you! 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.
Nakatani is joined by Fayetteville’s Untight, an improvisation-driven sound art project by artist and musician Sam King. He once performed at the James Turrell Skyspace for an unforgettable Trillium experience!
We’ll have a donations food and drink table at the venue and can’t wait to resonate with you! It’s been too long.
