"3-part in(ter)ventions" Yasuo Tone / Otomo Yoshihide / Jim O'Rourke Price: ¥2500 New, unopened. #Yasuo Tone / Otomo Yoshihide / Jim O'Rourke #CD・DVD A new work by Yasuo Tone, a New York-based avant-garde composer and artist, and a session with Otomo Yoshihide & Jim O'Rourke. The live performance held in 2009 at a venue utilizing a Yokohama port warehouse is completely recorded. ■About 3-part in(ter)ventions: A live event held at the "Yokohama International Film Festival 2009." Although Tone's visit to Japan was unfortunately canceled due to his poor health, two new recordings of the planned performance, "MP3 Corruption Piece," were delivered for this day. The event was held without Tone, at the request of Otomo and O'Rourke. The live performances of the two, who revere Tone, captivated the audience, and the event was a great success. ■From the liner notes: The performance was very fulfilling, filling the absence of Tone. No, rather than filling the absence, it might be said that Tone's absence was the center of this event. The duo of Otomo's turntable and O'Rourke's laptop has many delicate and serene parts, giving a sense of texture that makes you listen intently to the sound itself. In contrast, in the trio with Tone's recording added, the moment Tone's sound was emitted (the timing of the playback was left to the PA staff), the atmosphere of the venue changed completely, and the change in the speed of the sound itself was perceived as a change in the sense of time. Tone's sound resonated as if it were an image of the process speed of digital data, and the performers increased the speed of their own performances in response. - Minoru Hatanaka (Chief Curator, ICC) Track Information Track1. 17:41 Yasuo Tone "MP3 Corruption Piece" 〈Solo〉 Track2. 30:31 Otomo Yoshihide × Jim O'Rourke 〈Duo〉 Track3. 25:32 Yasuo Tone ("MP3 Corruption Piece") × Otomo Yoshihide × Jim O'Rourke 〈Trio〉
