YAMAMOTO GENDAI is pleased to announce Vol.0, an one-night performance event created by Nile Koetting on 17th December 2016, showing for the first time in Japan.

Nile Koetting, a Berlin-based artist, is examining, together with the singer and violinist Annie Gårlid, the corporeal activity of music-making against a backdrop of the industry of classical music training, the construction of ‘talent’ and the production of stars: what reality does the body have on stage? What sort of artificiality emerges through ‘show business’ and the staging of the body?

A talk session, Sounds derived from culture –new music culture-, joined by Shinpei Kaiho from melting bot will be held after the performance.

We look forward to spending a feverous night with you.

We create and use lots of methods to make better musicians. We have produced a lot of great and historical stars, “talented” and “non talented” people. Many musicians begin their lessons when they are very young, either after their parents’ will or their own will. Famous music educator and violinist Suzuki Shinichi (1898-1998) said “talent is no accident of birth”. If talent already exists in embryo, then how is it manipulated and created as an artificial object after birth? And how it is going to resonate with others? Vol.0 is an experiment to render new possibilities as well as materialities and corporealities of the classical music education industry, economy, and politics through the sound and music experience.
