No(!)sy Room #1: Curiosity Garden of Sound and Light, conceived and directed by pianist/composer Motoko Honda, is a performance series of an immersive experience of sound and light, utilizing the unique architectural features of the space hosting the installation, a multi directional surround sound system and light/video projections.

To help realize her vision for this special performance series, Honda has teamed up with with long time collaborator Jesse Gilbert from L.A., and new collaborators, Ian Winters and Norman Teale from Bay Area. The experimental and open nature of this series allows collaborators to explore different ideas, developing unique identities and concepts on each performance during Honda’s residency at Kala.

Each performance will be followed by short artist talk, Q&A and reception with drink and snacks, providing an opportunity to learn more about the work of these international artists up close, ask questions and discuss about the development and conceptualization of interdisciplinary projects as well as electronic music strategies for acoustic musicians.

Suitable and fun for all ages.
