Ryoko AKAMA – Ko ISHIKAWA – Bruno DUPLANT
“2 Compositions”
Ryoko Akama is a sound artist/composer living in the UK. Her prolific activity in recent years, not only in the UK but throughout the world, has been remarkable. Over the past several years she has released a succession of recordings of her compositions and performances. Ko Ishikawa plays the sho, an instrument used in gagaku, traditional Japanese court music. While active in the world of gagaku, the incomparable Ishikawa has also established a firm foothold on the improvised music scene. Bruno Duplant is a French musician who has become widely known, particularly since 2010, for his unique approach to music. Akama and Duplant have been collaborating since 2013 and have released several CDs and CD-Rs. In the album 2 Compositions, the newest product of their collaboration--this time with Ishikawa--the three artists perform Akama’s compositions using scores consisting of text and graphics. Akama (electronics), Ishikawa (sho) and Duplant (contrabass and electronics) bring out all the beauty of Akama’s succinct and elegant compositions generously incorporating “space.”
