Taking place within the framework of the Ryuichi Sakamoto’s sakamotocommon exhibition at VS., the first night of Unsound Osaka reaches into the past and future by celebrating pioneers of electronic and experimental music. At the heart of the night, Keiji Haino will perform on a collection of FrançoisBachet sound sculptures created for the 1970 Osaka World Expo, instruments that inspired Sakamoto when he encountered them at age 18.

Following, Australian Robin Fox will present his stunning laser and sound work Triptych, winner of ARS Electronica’s Isao Tomita Special Prize. Inspired by the work of pioneering Polish-Australian laser artist Stanisław Ostoja-Kotkowski, Triptych is an "audio visual space-time carving" that uses laser projectors to transform a venue's unique architecture into a completely new environment.

To open the night, Jim O’Rourke and Eiko Ishibashi will remix live works by Polish composer Włodzimierz Kotoński – a composer close to their hearts. One of Poland's most radical 20th century musicians, Kotoński pioneered tape music, live electronic performance, synthesized music and computer music.

Tickets to this event include access to the Sakaomoto exhibition, seeing sound, hearing time.
