Centre des Arts Enghien-les-Bains (France) and Sonore
with the support of ANA, All Nippon Airways, present:
June 6, 2008 at 10:00 pm
Enghien-les-Bains, France
Place Verdun
“Seamoons” robot
singers with paper lungs, "Ultra-folk" automatic guitars
and "Koi-beat" mechanical rhythm box¸ the
creative genius of Maywa Denki outs its efforts into paradoxes: passionate
goldworking / off-the-wall public presentations; innovative artistic
pretentions/assumed marketing strategy. Like Bruno Munari, Nobumichi Tosa
breathes life into his resin and aluminium robots, irresistible and
capricious machines, whose vain mechanical beauty are much vaunted by
Tosa.

SONORE NETWORK
Since 1998, Sonore label has continued to
release some of the most internationally acclaimed cutting-edge artists.
With a fancy for experimental electronic music, our catalogue gathers a
bunch of quick-witted and ingenious talents who never shy from pushing
limits. "Sonore seems to be rapidly becoming one of the
most intrinsically daring electronic labels around, with these two
releases acting as a neat primer of its boldly explorative, decidedly
experimental modus operandi."
(Allan Harrison, Grooves Magazine,
USA 2006)

Satanicpornocultshop
A mesmerising, art-damaged assemblage of what seems like billions
of audio fragments sifted from the refuse of an increasingly dumb
globe-mass culture, each contorted into fun, furiously elliptical sonic
sculptures.
(Allan Harrison, Grooves Mag, USA
2006)

Yuko Nexus6
Yuko Nexus6 is another distinctive Japanese female musician to
add to a list that includes singers Haco, Phew and Ami Yoshida, queen of
the sinewave Sachiko M and shamisen player Yumiko Tanaka. "Song Book" is a
one-off tour de force, showing no shortage of ideas or attitude.
(Clive Bell, The Wire, UK 2005)

Satoru Wono
"Sonata for Sine Waves and White Noise" does for electronic music
what Jeff Koons did for the visual arts, to subvert the audience's
perception of the immediate exterior with a sense of street smart satire.

AKANE
HOSAKA Niko
Niko Denki Muzic Debut Album!! Release
Date: 10th June 2008? (SONORE, SON-27,
CD 2008) |
"A debut album straight out the electropop
workshop, ringing with sounds à la Perrey&Kingsley,
mastering by Kazunao Nagata (ExT
Recordings)."

Release Party : 14th of June 2008 at Super Deluxe in Tokyo
With her lunging rhythms and
deliciously retro melodies, Akane Hosaka catapults us into a world of
gleeful wallabies and drummer-boy monkeys.Her discovery of music came
through song, and only later led to instrumental
experimentation.References to her early influences, the 60s and 70s
precursors of electropop, are deliberate, there for all to see: Raymond
Scott, Perrey & Kingsley or Yellow Magic Orchestra. Nevertheless
her true inspiration is from the visual world and lies in graphic forms
and architectural fantasy:Keiji Ito, Archigram or Bruno Munari.For her,
these images evoke musicthat she then sets about transcribing.Naturally
reserved, she’s a perfectionist in her work. Seeing her in the
studio is like watching a blacksmith in the smithy, as she bends her music
into the required shapes. Her compositions are like
pastel-coloured soap bubbles in extra-bright Super 8.
