MISA SHIMOMURA (Japan),

Friday - 30.05.2008 – 20:00
SOLO PIANO - 緑 - Ryoku - Green

Misa Shimomura, pianist from Kyoto, will play a piano solo concert every last friday of the month at
Laboratoire Village Nomade, joined freely during the second part by other present musicians;
beginning in the month of May, ending in November 08. Every concert has the theme of one color.

“Colors and People”
In Japan, people have a word "Niji no nana iro" - it means seven colors from a rainbow.
Niji -rainbow- is seen as a symbol of hope. I see myself standing under this rainbow.
Blue according to the day from a lake,
clear white catch me from the top of distant mountains
Yellowish-green from the sprouting of grasses makes me smile.
I had headache yesterday because of the gray clouds may be,
and yellow sunlight makes me fine today.
Powerful green with blowing from the cornfield...
Soft purple from the small flowers spread from my foot...
At night the shadow of a tree is as dark as the light of the moon is bright.

Green and Me
I was born at the countryside of Japan, an area which has a deep green in
the mountains. Especially this season, plants are so powerful and the
colors are shining very deep. I imagine my home country now with it´s amazing
green color and this image gives me smells, moist air and sounds - from home.
for me
green is like my mother of color
for you
I will play piano honestly in myself

Everybody is welcome.

16 Bitch Pile-Up - 3 women in psychic sessions and psychosis - spawned in Ohio, now living in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Sarah Bernat, Sarah Cathers and Shannon Walter mind meld with electronics on the verge of nervous breakthrough, trainwrecked cornets, sputtering batteries cranking out crackling tape loops and bass held hostage with a knife to its neck. Their dynamic compositions, walls of unrelenting grind and psychedelic feedback will flash you back to your baddest trip.

OFFSHORE
An installation at the Lake of Neuchâtel
by ISAMU KRIEGER (Switzerland)

SATURDAY – 7.06.2008 – 17:00 – VERNISSAGE ON THE BEACH

offshore

Come to discover the amazing protected area of the offshore platform beach!!
Miles of secluded orange sand welcome you warmly and offer a landscape never seen before!
A platform that is well-fed and healthy is vibrantly coloured bright turquoise and is more desirable as a ressource.
A pale platform, however, is usually unhealthy or suffering from a lack of toxic.
From bright fluo green waters to heavy red sun, natural phenomena – underwater channels of oil minerals emanating rainbow aura seen from surface.
this dizziness of euphoria will be your best life experience!

Don’t forget your swimming suit and your no45 solar cream...

In most of my installations, I try to step in the space by using a language of derision
and an ambiguous humour. Faking the effects of contemporary visual communication,
I propose to displace and to hold up to ridicule, the strategies of frustration and individuality
that are leading to the loneliness of consuming.

SUN AT STANDSTILL ON THE 21TH OF JUNE 2008 - 01:59 MESZ

We celebrate the shortest night of the year with a concert of
The Tabasco Club (Geneva, Switzerland)
Live and DJ-Set - beginning 21:00

tabasco club

Those young rebels sound like nothing you've heard before!

They live and love the Cajun Music Style, whose roots go way back to the 18th century. It was brought to the south of the United States, to Louisiana, by the french imigrants from Canada (Arcadiens). In this new country, fast rhythms met some slow walz, they were played on instruments like the austrian melodeon, the fiddle or the triangle. The vocals were usually very high and loud, so even the people in the background could hear and understand it!
The Tabasco Club brings this traditional music to the new century: the trio plays the Cajun music from Lafayette with lots of rough energy. The traditional instruments are completed with drums, an electric guitar and a banjo. The Tabasco Club style is inspired by the black-creole Blues, the Zydeco from New Orleans.

ROMAN BUNKA & BASSEM HAWAR
Sunday, Sonntag, Dimanche - 11.05.2008 -21:30

The traditional arabian Intruments "Oud“ (lute) and "Djoze“ (knee-violin) form a specific soundspace that has grown out of, and is still being developed, in oriental culture since many centuries till today. BASSSEM HAWAR is one of the very few musicians who has mastered the "Djoze“ not only in it’s traditional way of playing, but has integrated it into his love for contemporary music. Together with "Oud“ player ROMAN BUNKA he will present the old "Maqam“ music from Iraq. With their dedication to bordercrossing "worldmusic“ both musicians will also play own compositions and improvisations.

Die traditionellen arabischen Instrumente "Oud" (Laute) und "Djoze" (Kniegeige) bilden einen besonderen Klang-Raum, der seit Jahrhunderten an Kulturstätten des Orients weiter entwickelt wurde. BASSEM HAWAR ist einer der wenigen Musiker der die "Djoze" nicht nur im traditionellen Stil beherrscht, sondern auch eine Vorliebe zu neuer Musik und Jazz hat. Zusammen mit dem Oud-Spieler ROMAN BUNKA präsentiert er die alte "MAQAM"-Musik des Iraks, dazu kommen Eigen-Kompositionen und Improvisationen der beiden "Weltmusiker".

Les instruments arabes traditionnels appelés “Oud” (luthe) et “Djoze” (violon de genoux) produisent une caisse de raisonnance spécifique. Ils ont été développés dans la culture orientale depuis plusieures siècles et ont évolué jusqu’à nos jours. BASSSEM HAWAR est un des rares musiciens à maîtriser le “Djoze” et le joue non seulement dans sa pratique traditionnelle mais l’intègre également dans une conception plus contemporaine de la musique. Pour l’occasion, avec ROMAN BUNKA, joueur de „Oud“, la formation en duo présente le vieux „Maqam“, musique d’Irak - au delà d’une interprétation directe, les deux musiciens joueront aussi leurs propres compositions et improvisations.

Lors de la seconde partie du concert, les musiciens présents seront invités à prendre part librement à une expérience musicale. Depuis le début du mois de mai jusqu’à la fin du mois de novembre, Misa proposera une thématique chromatique influançant l’émotion sonore, une couleur différente pour chaque concert: “Lac, Ciel, Feuilles, Fleurs, Terre, Pierre; Ces éléments me parlent chaque jour avec une émotion différente, et j’écoute leur voix. Pendant la nuit, l’ombre d’un arbre devient aussi sombre que l’éclat blafard de la lune.”
Tout le monde est invité.
