TwoTwenty/OneTen Festival
"An important contender in the international network of multimedia  
experimental festivals." Los Angeles Times

The genre-defying festival, TwoTwenty/OneTen, curated by the CalArts  
Center for Experiments in Art, Information and Technology, offers  
three evenings of new improvised music and multimedia. Opening the  
festival is Miya Masaoka, the Alpert Award-winning composer, sound  
artist and koto player. Masaoka's work incorporates field recordings  
and sounds generated by insects, the physiological processes of  
plants, and the human brain. This year’s fest also brings programs  
from the Sicilian composer and improviser Domenico Sciajno, whose  
practice focuses on a process generating or modifying sounds through  
visual parameters and processes; and Tokyo-based sound artist, Toshi  
Nakamura, who uses his signature “no-input mixing board” to develop  
controlled improvisations despite the "accidental" nature of his  
feedback system. Each artist will perform a solo set, and then a  
second set with Los Angeles-based improvisors Hans W. Koch (25 Jan.),  
David Rothbaum (26 Jan.) and Lewis Keller and Carole Kim (27 Jan.).

Miya Masaoka/Hans W. Koch
"Even within the wide-open esthetic of West Coast improv, Miya  
Masaoka is a maverick." The Vancouver Sun
"…those who take the time will marvel at how ingeniously Masaoka can  
challenge and change perceptions of what is, and isn't, music…" San  
Diego Union Tribune

Domenico Sciajno/David Rothbaum
"It's a good listen because Sciajno knows how to seduce the ear, not  
clobbering the listener but welcoming us into his viscous, oozing  
soundscapes." Clive Bell, The Wire
