No One's an Island
Southbank Centre, Purcell Room, SE1 8XX , [Venue Details]Combining elements of contemporary jazz and Japanese folk music, this concert allows the exploration of seemingly unconnected worlds.
You to We brings together nine exceptional Anglo-Japanese artists exploring personal and collective identity through sound, image, and text.
Curated by En Rapport, this two-part programme features three distinct projects — Ayatori, Lotus Code and No One’s an Island.
Award-winning jazz artists Kit Downes (piano) and Thomas Morgan (bass) explore the unique combination and sound of Emi Makabe’s voice and shamisen playing in a richly nuanced melding of the historical and the modern. The improvisational spirit of these three exceptional musicians is perfectly complimented by their richly layered and evocative compositions, enwrapping the crystalline quality of Makabe’s vocals.
Intertwining original music, photography, video, poetry, and digital technologies, You to We explores a new creative relationship between the UK and Japan, highlighting the rich cultural exchange and collaboration across generations.
En Rapport is interested in how similarities and differences co-exist across a wide spectrum of cross-cultural life. They curate platforms for artists to explore new creative experiences in collaboration with other likeminded artists working from different mediums and artistic approaches.
