JACCC & KCRW Music present the Los Angeles premiere of Carl Stone’s one hour work DAIMATSU. Daimatsu is an electronic music performance spun from field recordings captured in both the US and Japan. These elements include shomyo chant recorded during the Goma Fire Ceremony at the Koyasan Temple in Little Tokyo, tingsha cymbals from Tibet, instruments from Gagaku (the ancient court orchestra of Japan), and the sound of water boiling in preparation of tea, as well as secular sound elements recorded in Tokyo and Gifu. Carl Stone mixes these elements in performance in order to create a deep and meditative sound space that is intended to fit perfectly to the location at the ground level of the JACCC, viewing the James Irvine Japanese Garden.
