Maya Ongaku
Hailing from the seaside communities surrounding Enoshima, a small island located 50 km southwest of Tokyo, Maya Ongaku is a ragtag collective of local musicians whose brand of earthy psychedelia transcends widely beyond the roots of their inner souls. The name derives not from any kind of ancient civilization, but rather a neologism defined as the imagined view outside one’s field of vision. The band—currently a trio of Tsutomu Sonoda, Ryota Takano, and Shoei Ikeda—finds sanctuary at the Ace General Store, a beachy vintage shop and salon-like space just hidden from sight from the bustling, touristy riverside Subana Street. Between discussions on music and art, curating the vinyl section and manning the register, and chatting up with locals young and old, the members find time to jam and record their spontaneous ideas in the studio tucked away in the back. It’s in this unlikely setting where Maya Ongaku finds its origins, the culmination of what Sonoda describes as 自然発生 (shizen hassei), meaning spontaneous generation, or the supposed production of living organisms from nonliving matter.
Passepartout Duo
‚Passepartout Duo Live‘ showcases a multiyear journey of sound experimentations and a unique ecosystem of original musical instruments. Carefully balancing acoustic and electronic sounds, the duo’s virtuosic performance of complex rhythms couples with a refined craft of simple melodic gestures, positioning the music close to Minimalism as much as popular music traditions. It is a journey that covers much ground between lyrical depths and saturated noise, between crystalline medieval polyphonies and futuristic synthesized voices. The choregraphic interplay between the performers on stage, a dizzying dance of instrument-sharing and secret cues, becomes an essential ingredient of hypnotic charm.
