sat 21 sept 2024Yuko Araki (Jap) live
ingresso con tessera (Arci)
Yuko Araki, a multi-instrumentalist and composer based in Tokyo, explores a wide range of
musical endeavors. Initially drawn to the piano as a child, her teenage years saw her
captivated by hardcore and metal music. However, her musical palette expanded
significantly as she delved into various projects, including becoming the drummer of the
band Kuunatic which plays tribal dreamy tales.
Yuko Araki's solo project is where her creativity truly flourishes. Through modular synthesis,
she crafts abstract rhythms and dissonant harmonies, seamlessly blending elements of
noise drone and industrial genres into her compositions. Her exceptional sensitivity in
processing heavy and dense sounds results in a sonic landscape unlike anything else you've
heard before: it's as if a thousand leaves oscillate simultaneously, rooted in Japanese noise
yet entirely distinct. Her music transports listeners into intergalactic noisescapes.
In 2019, Yuko Araki released the EP "I" under the Indonesian label Gerpfast Records,
followed by "II" under the Italian label Commando Vanessa. Her debut full-length album,
"End Of Trilogy," released in 2021. "IV," released in 2023 under Room40, focused on
creating noise music devoid of unnecessary clutter. It included a track featuring vocals from
Taichi Nagura of Japanese band Endon.
Additionally, she curated a Remix EP titled "IV X VI (Re:visions)," which showcased
collaborations with a diverse range of artists. Contributors included Jonathan Snipes of
clipping., extreme dark metal band Portal, Lawrence English, Nick Klein, as well as
Japanese producers Scotch Rolex and Golpe Mortal.
She is releasing her new album 'Zenjitsutan - 前日譚' via Room40 on 30th August, which
focuses on harsh noise inspired by the Japanese noise music scene.
Yuko Araki's performances have taken her across Europe, the UK, and Asia, including
appearances at prestigious festivals such as Skaņu Mežs in Latvia and Jogja Noise
Bombing in Indonesia.
She’s been collaborating with some visual artists - Daisy Dickinson on an A/V performance
during a European tour in Fall 2021, and also with Jackson Kaki, which will be premiered in
China in Summer 2024.
