Atau Tanaka (US)

Written by Kalle Pakkala on March 24, 2009.

Atau and Adam combine the dynamics of free jazz and improvisation with the physicality and repetition of electronic dance music, moving through crisp digital textures, saturated funk riffs and fractured shards of sub bass. Atau’s instrument, the biomuse, uses bioelectric signals to manipulate electronic sounds, embedding the musician’s body in the performance, whilst Adam’s setup uses max msp software and controllers to draw the expressivity from the clicks, crackles and pulses of his drum machines.
