Ryoji Ikeda Applies His “Grid-like Approach to Music” to 100 Turkish Cymbals

Japanese media artist Ryoji Ikeda and Les Percussions de Strasbourg perform 100 Cymbals (2019) at The Hague’s Rewire Festival. In the piece, 10 percussionists weave through a 10 x 10 grid of Turkish cymbals articulating their texture and (revered) harmonics. The piece “produces alluring and hypnotic sounds that verge on droning synthesizers” and “invites us to rethink the overlap and differences between electronic and analogue,” writes the Rewire team.
