AUT and composer/performer ensemble, Current Resonance, present ๐บ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ซ๐๐๐ ๐จ๐๐๐๐, a concert of experimental music that combines
influences from Japanese pop culture and otaku media (anime, manga, arcades, visual novels) with contemporary classical music. The program
profiles the Japanese composers Yuri Umemoto (b.2002) and Akiko Yamane (b.1982), whose work is played in Denmark for the first time.
The pieces by Yuri Umemoto integrate the aesthetics of moe (anime) and techniques from otaku media (e.g. superimposed scrolling text,
looping videos) with post-minimal and conceptual music. The pieces by Akiko Yamane showcase the inherent musicality of Japanese arcades
and pachinko parlours, as well as the baroque ornamentation of shojo manga. The back half of the program features doujinshi pieces
(fan-made spinoffs) of Umemotoโs work that members off the ensemble have realized according to Umemotoโs instructions for creating
โfake musicโ. The concert concludes with a pair of works that engage with the representation of cuteness, Michael Hopeโs ๐๐๐พ๐ ๐๐ผ๐พ๐ and
Yamaneโs ๐๐๐ฌ๐๐๐ ๐.
Current Resonance is joined by musicians Anna Jalving (violin/viola) and Malthe Volfing (cello).
The premiere of Dylan Richardsโ Tokyo Trip, a 2-hour travel vlog video will take place at Musikhuset Aarhus on the night following the concert (25/3, Monday).
