ABOUT CENTER NO DISTRACTOR
A truly contemporary collaboration, Center no Distractor
re-contextualizes the taiko (a traditional Japanese drum) in a digital
environment while retaining the essence of its aesthetic, athletic and
musical qualities. The project features fully Do-It-Yourself
instruments: Stephanie plays a self-constructed nagado taiko, made from
an oak wine barrel, which she built over a period of 1.5 years. Stelios
performs with a modular instrument he created in the SuperCollider
programming language, with custom-made processes and generators tuned
for responsive, hands-on playing. Center no Distractor
performances are simultaneously a concert, an exploration of sound and
body, a visual spectacle; they are dance for the ears, the body, the
eyes and the mind.
ABOUT THE DIGITAL ALBUM
This debut EP features 4 explosive tracks, creating a visceral,
industrial, post-primal/post-digital experience; an immersive and
intense sonic environment full of evolving soundscapes and fine detail,
throbbing percussion, gut-moving bass, and turbulent oceans of sound. Nothing aiming is a splinter was
recorded live, aiming to capture as much of this raw energy as
possible. The recording was made on December 4th of 2012 at Zeebelt
Theater, Den Haag, Nederland.
