Kurokawa synchronizes processed field recordings, granular cracks and computer-generated pressure waves with rapidly dissected images. Expect a multichannel audiovisual concert moving between near-silence, dense low-frequency mass and stroboscopic bursts rather than a beat-led set.

More about Ryoichi Kurokawa

The Osaka-born, Berlin-based artist has presented installations and concerts since 1999, treating sound and image as one composed material. His work sits between experimental electronic music, scientific visualization and media art; he received the Digital Musics & Sound Art Golden Nica at Prix Ars Electronica in 2010.

A story

For unfold, Kurokawa worked with astrophysicist Vincent Minier and translated ESA, NASA and CEA datasets about forming stars and galaxies into images, sound and physical vibration.
