A Record Of Living Beings

Ahead of a debut trio performance of the live extension of the radio show, Rai Wong is joined by Yoshino Shigihara (Yama Warashi) and Suren Seneviratne (My Panda Shall Fly) for 2 hours of records and unhinged improvisations, featuring rototoms, taishōgoto, percussions, live signal processing, obsolete music software running on a 2004 Macintosh iBook, and cassette tape loops. Through both music selection and performance this is a search for the dichotomies between live instrumentation, electronic hardware and software destinations.
