Ready Fire Aim
Audiopollen Social Festival 09 delivered exactly what it promised. Yusuke Akai and Daiji Igarashii curated an extremely original, way out there music festival. It puts art back into music. The real winner was Atsuhiro Ito here. He did stuff with a neon light I’ve never seen before. The vibrations emanating from that lightbulb were close to the strums of an electric guitar in a heavy metal band, punctuated by Robbie Avenaim’s percussion work. It blew my head off. My friend Kosta had to leave the room. He couldn’t deal with the frequencies. I was in complete heaven. More! I say, more!
