(1) Event Pick of the Week
===============================================================

Kosugi Takehisa Concert "Media Mix"

The performances of Kosugi Takehisa with Yamataka Eye at Spiral
in May 2003 were packed. Co-founder of Group Ongaku (Dadaist
anti-music) in 1960 and Taj-Mahal Travellers (collective
improvisation) in 1969, Kosugi is a living legend: He contributed
to some of the most exciting musical adventures of the 20th century,
participated in the Osaka Expo'70, and as a composer and performer
for the Merce Cunningham Dance Company since 1977, he has long been
crossing the borders between composition, performance and installation.
Experiencing one of Kosugi's unique sound performances using electronic
devices and everyday utensils is requisite for anyone interested in
sound art. Don't miss the workshop on Saturday as well!

(2) Disk Pick of the Week
===============================================================

Various Artists: Offbeat [DVD]

Launched in 2002 in Berlin, "short film label" 89mm has so far
released a number of shorts on floppy disk. In a special project
with the e:motion label, this time 89mm presents a DVD containing
13 collaboration pieces by pairs of visual creators and musicians.
While films range from B-movie kinds of flicks to cute animation
and cutting-edge computer graphics, musical styles include
electronica, techno/house, ambient, and electronic rock. With
another 12 TV/movie theatre commercials and other films in the
"bonus material" section, the DVD offers a rich overview of
contemporary creators of sound and image in and around Germany,
and to people in Japan it is especially recommended as an appetizer
for next year's "German Year in Japan".
