field effects
One of my favorite concert series in the Bay Area is Field Effects, hosted by Aaron Ximm. Friday night saw some amazing performances, both by Scott Arford and Yuko Nexus6 & Mariko Tajiri. They were two very different sides of the same coin: Arford producing dense complex but textured noise/image, Yuko and Mariko making playful and beautifully simple video and sound about water. Really an amazing evening, one of those moments when I truly like the place I'm at and the people I'm around. Got to catch up with Carl Stone as well, our paths seem to keep crossing both here and in Japan.
