Direct from Japan come two critically acclaimed electronic pop artists, aus and cokiyu, for a night of lush melodies, detailed layers of rhythm and emotive passages. Also on the bill is Brisbane indie pop band, Do the Robot.
Tokyo is a city of endless tiny streets, sprawling parks and countless incongruous communities co-existing in a glorious pulse of activity. Amongst these communities is a wealth of curious sound makers and musicians creating work that defines a new vision of electronically manipulated Japanese songform.
One label dedicated to this hybrid sound is Flau - and two of their key artists Aus (aka Yasuhiko Fukuzono) and Cokiyu head to Brisbane this September to cast light over this effervescent new musical happening.
The music of aus unites small melodic passages with detailed layers of rhythm and texture gathered from his everyday surroundings. By contrast, Cokiyucreates work that references the pastural qualities of recent Icelandic outputs from Mum, offering suggestive melodies and sweeping emotive passages that bring the listeners ears into soft focus. Joining them from Brisbane are lush minimal pop duet Do The Robot.
