Realistic Monk – the title a simple anagram of the names of its members – is a new performance project from Carl Stone in collaboration with artist/composer Miki Yui. The unit concentrates on smaller sounds, sometimes at the edge of perception, encouraging concentrated listening as they create deep soundscapes that emerge out of voices, noises, field recordings and acoustic feedback.

Realistic Monk は、コンピューター音楽のパイオニア Carl Stone (*1953 USA) と、ドイツ在住の美術家、音楽家のMiki Yui (*1971 JP) のデュオ。それぞれが独自の方法でサンプリング、電子音、フィールドレコーディング、音響を駆使しソロで活躍している。
デュオ作品では声、ノイズ、フィードバックを使い、ダイナミックで有機的、複雑でミニマル、ディープなサウンドスケープを作り出す。演奏者とともに魅惑的な音のメタモルフォーゼを体験するコンサート。
デュオ名のRealistic Monk は2人の名前のアナグラムから出来ている。
2015年からデュオとして度々ヨーロッパでツアーを重ねて来た。
今春4月7日に東京、水道橋のFtarri にて日本で初めてのコンサートを行う。
