SONARSOUND LANDS IN TOKYO

After London, Lisbon, Neuchatel and Hamburg, SONARSOUND will reach Tokyo the coming 12 and 13 of October. The framework of this new initiative will be the Tokyo Designers Block 2002, an international interdisciplinary event taking place from October 10 to 14, which will bring outstanding designers from all over the world to the Japanese capital.

SONARSOUND will present a varied musical programme over two days with a total of fifteen acts. All this will take place at the spectacular Think Zone, a cube shaped art gallery with state of the art technology right in the heart of Roppongi Hills. On the 12th and in collaboration with Third Ear, there will be concerts by Soul Center, Dennis DeSantis, Numb and Why Sheep?, as well as DJ sets by Fumiya Tanaka, Hiroshi Watanabe and Dj Kentaro, whereas on the 13th it will be the turn of Ulrich Schnauss, Yoshinori Sunahara, World's End Girlfriend, Portable [K]ommunity, Yamauchi and Nao Tokui (Clickety And Clack), with Angel Molina and Fibla heading the list of those representing the Barcelona scene.

Besides the music, SONARSOUND will complete its programme with two other activities aimed at stimulating debate, promotion and analysis: "SonarSound Symposium", a forum that will focus on the present state of digital creation and its new territories of expansion, and "SonarSound Lecture", a series of lectures around the fusion between digital art and advanced musics.

SONARSOUND TOKYO is an Advanced Music and Third Ear (www.third-ear.net) initiative in collaboration with the Department of Culture of the Generalitat de Catalunya.
