Tatsuya Nakatani & Arcx Quartet

Join us for an extraordinary auditory experience featuring the innovative talents of Tatsuya Nakatani and the Arcx Quartet! 🎶

Tatsuya Nakatani is a renowned avant-garde percussionist, composer, and sound artist with a career spanning over three decades. He has produced more than 80 recordings and performs around 150 concerts annually across the globe. His explorations in sound predominantly focus on solo works and his unique Nakatani Gong Orchestra. 🥁

Nakatani's music, rich with traditions of Japanese elegance, utilizes an adapted bowed gong complemented by an array of drums, cymbals, and singing bowls. Each performance embodies a dynamic layering of vibrations, silence, and texture, showcasing his signature Kobo Bows that he personally carves.

Arcx Quartet invites you on an immersive audio journey with their surreal soundscapes that blend hallucinogenic trance and ethereal sonic forms. Comprised of Carlos Santiago (Violin), Matt Engle and Dan Moser (Contrabass), and Thomas Kraines (Cello), this ensemble delves into the interstitial spaces of truth and perception. 🌌

Accessibility: The venue has a street-level entrance but features two steps to the restroom.
