YAMAHA has teamed up with the MUTEK festival to present the Canadian premiere of the brand-new and visually stunning TENORI-ON live performance console. Created by TOSHIO IWAI, the TENORI-ON is a unique 16 x 16 LED-button matrix performance instrument with a one-of-a-kind visual display. This unique performance tool enables producers to perform using MIDI, while loading the TENORI-ON with samples to ‘jam / improvise’ within their set beats per minute. A broad range of international talent will be on hand for this event, ready to put the TENORI-ON to the test, featuring Pole, Sutekh, Robert Lippok, I Am Robot And Proud, Nathan Michel, Pheek.
Launching at the Society for Arts and Technology, 1195 St Laurent Blvd, Gloucester, Canada, 7pm Friday 11 April, 2008.
