Aus and Cokiyu - Concert at KickArts

by KickArts Contemporary Arts
(96 Abbott Street Cairns QLD 4870)

KickArts Contemporary Arts, the IMA and Room 40 present Aus (Japan) and Cokiyu (Japan) on Friday September 11 at 7.00pm in the JUTE Theatre.

Tokyo is a city of endless tiny streets, sprawling parks and countless incongruous communities co-exiting in a glorious pulse of activity.

Amongst these communities is a wealth of curious sound makers and musicians creating work that defines a new vision of electronically manipulated Japanese songform.

One label dedicated to this hybrid sound is Flau – and two of their key artists Aus (aka Yasuhiko Fukuzono) and Cokiyu will play in Cairns Friday September 11 to cast light over this effervescent new musical happening.

Aus’s music unites small melodic passages with detailed layers of rhythm and texture gathered from his everyday surroundings. By contrast, Cokiyu creates work that references the pastoral qualities of recent Icelandic outputs from Mum, offering suggestive melodies and sweeping emotive passages that bring the listeners' ears into soft focus.

Join KickArts on Friday September 11 at 7.00pm in the Jute Theatre for an exquisite journey of delicate and imaginative sounds. All are welcome and entry is free.
