Japanese industrial / avant-garde synth duo group A partner with choreographer/performer Dana Gingras and Montréal media artist Sonya Stefan as well as Finnish lighting designer Mikko Hynninen for "anOther", the multimedia project developed and premiered at Agora de la danse, Montréal, April 2018.
Performance, installation of televisions, sound, light and image converging to create an exhilarating event placing a living, breathing and transmuting body at the heart of the experience.
“A hybrid of art installation and electroacoustic performance, anOther transports us into a post-feminine fourth dimension, whose atmosphere is as enticing as it is paradoxically unsettling. This jewel of experimental choreography will thrill visual art and underground music aficionados.” - Mélanie Carpentier, Le Devoir
Limited edition of 400 copies on solid red vinyl.
REVIEW:
"Tokyo-based duo Group A have been operating as outliers for many years now, self-releasing music and earning a reputation for their incendiary live shows. After catching the ear of Alessandro Adriani's mighty Mannequin label, they released a self-titled EP on the Italian imprint back in 2017, and now they're finally back to follow it up with a full-length. Being on Mannequin you should know to expect beyond the grave sonics with heavy notes of industrial and minimal wave, but Group A intersperse this with their own particular strain of sonic personality, from dismembered voices to American TV rips (on the excellent "Channel Surfing". It's an imposing listen, not to mention a captivating one."
