Ftarri / Ftarri Festival

Voima

This is the duo of Yasufumi Suzuki and Tetsuro Yasunaga. On a base of laptop music consisting mainly of sampled sound loops, pieces are created in an improvisational way using several electronic instruments. It could be said that within their expression they are continually asking the question of how to get away from the mental operation of creating context from a mass of information...but actually, they aren't thinking that much.
