Tatsuya Nakatani
Percussionist Tatsuya Nakatani pretty much has the gong world to himself. The avant-garde sound artist travels with a huge array of gongs he’s created and he doesn’t just bang on them. Sure, mallets are deployed but he bows them as well, with bows he makes himself. Nakatani’s Gong Orchestra will be made up of Madison players who will play gongs, singing bowls, drums and cymbals. The sum of the parts is insanely seductive and textured. The show is presented in collaboration by Arts + Lit Lab, Communication, Garver and Tone Madison
