Jesse Perlstein & Shinya Sugimoto / IMA /
Danishta RiveroJesse Perlstein (of Sontag Shogun; US) & Shinya Sugimoto (JP) combine haunting vocals, field recordings, piano etudes, oscillator drones and digital algorithmic noise to create minimal soundscapes that blossom into lush nostalgia-tinged requiems. The balance between ambience and harmonic vox/keys swells give these improvised performances a feeling of intention and composition that reflects the long-standing collaboration the two artists have shared.
They will be performing material based from their forthcoming release, “I Confess,” a meditation on the mundane, and how repetition and context can reveal the strange beauty held in every passing moment. Field recordings collected from disparate places, of unremarkable moments are woven together to create a surreal perspective greater than the sum of its parts.
