Outside the Spotlight presents master percussionist Tatsuya Nakatani with opening support from Everyone Lives Everyone Wins
Tatsuya Nakatani is an avant-garde percussionist, composer, and artist of sound. Active internationally since the 1990's, Nakatani has released over 80 recordings and tours extensively, performing over 150 concerts a year. His primary focus is his solo work and his large ensemble. He teaches master classes and lectures at universities and music conservatories around the world and makes his home in the desert town of Truth or Consequences, New Mexico.
Nakatani creates his distinctive music centered around his adapted bowed gong, supported by an array of drums, cymbals, and singing bowls. In consort with his hand carved Kobo Bows, it is an instrument he has spent decades developing. Nakatani approaches his orchestral project ( NGO) 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.
Everyone Lives Everyone Wins harnesses the power of sound to create site-specific auditory experiences for meditation, reflection, and exploration. Tune in, turn on, and drone out.
