Live: Yoshihide Otomo with Emilie Škrijelj and Tom Malmendier – turntables and drums

Before you go

Two turntables, one drum kit, no score: every sound in this performance happens on the spot.

Otomo Yoshihide met Emilie Škrijelj and Tom Malmendier at a festival in France in 2023 and asked them to play together on the spot. From 2024 the trio made 3 European tours and 1 album. This is the trio's first performance in Japan.

Škrijelj, from France, is an accordion and electronics player who improvises with objects and records on the turntable — nothing to do with DJing. Malmendier, a drummer from Belgium, works in experimental music and improvisation.

Cut-up began as a literary technique: cut a finished text into pieces and reassemble it into a new one. Here the two turntables do the same with recorded sound, with the drums answering in improvisation — a combination the venue calls an irregular trio.
