Mari Kimura with Liubo Borissov and Kevork Mourad

Organic Digits: Kimura-Borissov-Mourad Project

Mari Kimura teams up with visual artists Liubo Borissov and Kevork Mourad, presenting everything from her virtuosic solo works of her signature bowing technique Subharmonics, to realtime interactive audio visual works, using Issue Project Room’s 15 channel diffusion system.   Kimura’s violin and Mourad’s paintings are processed in realtime using MaxMSP/Jitter, a bowing motion sensor “Augmented Violin” (IRCAM), and Borissov’s interactive graphics video processing.   Kimura will present her current works using the Augmented Violin system in collaboration with the Realtime Interaction Team at IRCAM, which allows her to ‘clone’ her playing by recording her bowing gesture along with sound.   The program also includes a virtual video duet of Japanese Shamisen and violin, written by a Shamisen Master Mojibe Tokiwazu IV, the head of the House of Tokiwazu, the traditional Kabuki orchestra since the 1700s.  Kimura will also present an elegant processing work by Japanese MaxMSP guru Takayuki Rai, and a blisteringly fast masterpiece by Conlon Nancarrow.
