Itaru Oki
Born in Kobe, Japan
in 1941, Oki Itaru was raised in a rich musical environment; his father
was a player of the Shakuhachi (Japanese vertical flute), while his
mother was a master of the Koto (Japanese horizontal harp). Oki started
to play the trumpet in his high school brass band. Moving through the
Dixieland and bop styles, he took on free jazz in the late 1960s and
joined with Togashi Masahiko and Sato Masahiko to form ESSG (their
first tour of Europe took place in 1969). Following his subsequent
formation of the Oki Itaru Trio (which later grew into a quartet) Oki
moved to Paris in 1974 and since then he has continually performed at
concerts and festivals in France and throughout Europe.
Electronic Sensoria Band
Electronic Sensoria Band arose in
2002 from improvising sessions between Fergus Cullen and members of The
Wormholes and Memory Cells at Dublin’s legendary Lazybird club. Their
backing of the legendary ex-Can vocalist Damo Suzuki at his debut
Dublin show was recorded and became the first release on their Last of
our Kind label. Since then they have scaled down to a three piece
line-up consisting of Fergus on guitar and clarinet, with brothers
David and Anthony Carroll on drums and bass.
The Black Egg
The mysterious Black Egg Project claim to have formed in the late 1970s
as part of the hitherto little-known International ‘Kassette Kulture’ /
Mail Art Network, originating in a series of “canned recitals”
(featuring cut and spliced cassettes posted back and forth for
collaborative mutation).
Adherents of what they term
‘obscurantist tactics’, the mystery deepens with the list of
participants to date: Eve Ross (This Must Be The Real Thing, 1980), Tim
Ore, Werner Herriman (while performing live in Toronto with the White
Colours), and filmmaker Michael R. Wilson. On this occasion, Dublin’s
own Lamont Cantor will be remixing “unused leftovers” live from an old
batch of Black Egg tapes which, it seems, he happened upon last year –
in a shopping bag in a San Francisco art gallery storage space.
Meganekko
Taking much of her inspiration from the feminist stance of the early
90’s Riot Grrrl scene, Emily Aoibheann (from Dublin band Party Weirdo)
presents the Meganekko project. Pushing the punk and DIY ethic to the
fore through their skewed, plug-in-and-play approach, the band describe
themselves as “three nympho librarians on mostly keyboards”.
