ATAK NIGHT 4
Four highly original sound artists come to put YCAM's high-quality acoustic facilities to a test in a sensational joint live performance.



After finishing a celebrated tour around Italy, Germany, Switzerland and France, the ATAK Night 4 live concert lands at the Yamaguchi Center for Arts and Media [YCAM]. Four world-renowned artists gather at YCAM, a reputed stage for the production and presentation of novel forms of electronic music and outstanding sound art.
The event's main attraction is the appearance of Yasunao Tone, a Japanese artist who moved to New York in the '70s, and keeps operating in the forefront of experimental music even now that he is in his 70s. Also appearing is the Berlin resident Finnish duo Pan sonic, a leading name in cutting-edge electronic music for over a decade, and ATAK members Keiichiro Shibuya and Evala, both of whom created and unveiled the sound installation piece filmachine at YCAM in 2006, before presenting it in Berlin two years later.

YCAM has been showcasing electronic music made with computers and other devices, reproduced in the highest possible sound quality thanks to the Center's cutting-edge technology and top-notch acoustic environment. Making use of the construction's architectural characteristics, these events are realized with the help of a technical team of experts specializing in the synchronization of acoustic and optical images. Only at this YCAM date of the ATAK Night 4 tour, the audience will be surrounded by an elliptical 8-channel setup that allows for detailed reproduction of computer-generated sounds. Enjoy this long-awaited performance of the celebrated "ATAK Night 4", staged by outstanding sound artists together with YCAM.


YCAM Concert Series "sound tectonics"
Sound art as a manifestation of originality: a station on YCAM's pursuit of new expression and technique

Since its opening, YCAM has been exploring the original expressive potential of electronic music and sound art. When focusing on the usage of media technology not only in video and other forms of visual expression, but especially also on its function in the realm of sound, we can perceive acoustically temporal and spatial qualities that haven't previously existed in art. It has been our mission to explore possible new forms of artistic expression that emerge when reevaluating the human senses of vision, hearing and touch on an equal basis.
