Nosaj Thing x Daito Manabe

Live cameras and electronic composition locked into one responsive system

A/VExperimental electronicElectronicaIDM

Listen on Bandcamp

Nosaj Thing supplies low-lit electronic composition, clipped beats, sub-bass and finely suspended melodic material; Manabe turns cameras, computation and custom visual systems into active musical components. The new show lets sound and image reshape each other in real time, moving between tightly programmed passages and live improvisation.
