The Experimental Station was pleased to host a music and dance concert on October 27, 2006 performed by improvisational musician and composer Gene Coleman in company with Ensemble N_JP (USA/Japan) and the Chicago dancers/choreographers Nicole LeGette and Asimina Chremos. In this performance, which is part of the "Sound Field" concert series, Coleman sought to create "a seamless flow of everything from traditional Japanese folk music to very experimental explorations of sound, while the dancers move in a parallel universe." Ensemble N_JP featured the following musicians:Ko Ishikawa: sho {Japanese bamboo mouth organ}Yumiko Tanaka: shamisen {Japanese banjo}Ryuko Mizutani: koto {Japanese zither}Gene Coleman: bass clarinetCarmel Raz: violin/violaAlex Wing: dbl. bassMichael Hartman: live electronics Coleman's concert was an exciting first for the Experimental Station. We hope to offer more music programming in the future.
