Soundfield Transonic Series:
Ensemble N_JP plays "Tombo" by Gene Coleman at The Japan Society

The otherworldly sounds of ancient Japanese instruments are brought into high relief in this rare concert of super-modern music. Three instruments, each made of bamboo and exclusively used in medieval Japanese gagaku (the oldest form of ensemble orchestra music, developed in the 8th century) will be played by Ko Ishikawa (sho), Hitomi Nakamura (hichiriki) and Takeshi Sasamoto (ryuteki) members of Reigaku-sha, the most celebrated gagaku ensemble in Japan known for its activities in performing 20th- and 21st-century music. The evening features traditional works from the classical gagaku repertory as well as contemporary compositions by Yoshiko Kanda, Mamoru Fujieda and world premiere commissions from three trailblazing American composers: Ken Ueno, Carlos Sanchez-Gutierrez and Gene Coleman. This project also includes workshops for students and composers (see links below).

New compositions by Ken Ueno, Carlos Sanchez-Gutierrez and Gene Coleman were commissioned by Japan Society and supported by the Japan Foundation. For Gene Coleman's work, additional support is provided by The New Jersey Arts Council
