Tokyo Modular Fest explores the Vancouver-Tokyo noise connection

    1 of 1 2 of 1

      Vancouver electronic musicians G42—aka Dan Kibke and David Abfackeln—will be one of several acts performing at the live-streaming studio Dommune as an adjunct to this year’s Tokyo Modular Fest, taking place this weekend (June 7 and 8). Dommune is run out of a tiny Shibuya house by modular-synth enthusiast Naohiro Ukawa.

      “It’s the next step from ‘commune’,” Kibke joked in a call to the Straight. “I don’t know if they record their shows, I think the idea is they want to do this as a live thing.”

      Performances stream online from 7 p.m. to midnight, “Japan time, obviously”, on June 10. While there, Kibke also plans to visit an abandoned hotel in Kobe where departed former Vancouverite Zev Asher once performed with Merzbow.

      More information is at the Ustream website.
