"On musical notes in a staff notation system" This performance focuses on the way sounds from the endless sonic universe are captured in the system of staff notation (here symbolized by an insect cage), where they sit in the form of musical notes. The event discusses the state of things within the staff notation system, and its perspective on the world of sounds outside, to find out what kind of process sounds are undergoing.

Profile

tsumugine
Tsumugine is a music performance group which is active since 2008, initiated by Yasuno Miyauchi.Instead of reproducing a timeline which was created in advance, every member becomes a particle of the sound. The particles follow a simple rule, and everyone creates a sound while moving, colliding, changing, and fusing. The performance evolves spinning these spatial sounds together. Tsumugine aims for a music performance which is not only producing sounds, but extends to physical and visual expression. http://www.tsumugine.com
