Artist: Yumiko Yoshimoto
Songs: [two excerpts]
Recorded at Array Space (Audiopollination 71), May 5, 2019.
Yumiko Yoshimoto - [excerpt 1]
Yumiko Yoshimoto - [excerpt 2]
This evening of creative sounds was curated to introduce Japanese performer Yumiko Yoshimoto to a local crowd, and to give her a chance to have some musical encounters with Toronto sound-makers. Yoshimoto played some atmospheric guitar as well as the daxophone, a bowed instrument with a much closer relationship to the singing saw than the horn its name rhymes with. She opened the night with a solo set that was as striking as it was succinct, drawing animal sounds and otherwordly singing from the daxophone's tongues.
You can watch this whole set over on Audiopollination's youtube channel:
[Audiopollination returns to Array tonight (Saturday, July 20th) to introduce visiting Australian vocalist Sonya Holowell to some local musicians; there will also a night of randomly-drawn small groups live-soundtracking short films on Saturday, August 3rd.]
