Jlin & Florence To: AKOMA at EMPAC March 15, 2024
In close collaboration with multidisciplinary artist Florence To, Jlin is in residence at EMPAC to develop her new concert production.
AKOMA incites a dynamic and rhythmic conversation in which sound and light can create resonance that absorbs and emanates energy into a shared space.
Performing together onstage In EMPAC’s Studio 1, Jlin and To experiment with digital visual surfaces for displaying To’s highly interactive visual work alongside Jlin’s singular compositions.
Influenced by “footwork,” a genre of post-house music from Chicago and typified by an athletic and hyperactive rhythmic drive, Jlin developed her complex and personal style of music in her hometown of Gary, Indiana. Exemplified on past albums such as Perspective, Black Origami, and her acclaimed 2015 debut Dark Energy, Jlin’s compositional style combines the physicality of footwork with tectonic, polyrhythmic textures and excitedly unpredictable sound worlds.
For AKOMA, visual artist Florence To develops an interactive landscape that responds to Jlin’s music, utilizing various tools for outputting video and lighting design onto a variety of projection surfaces and lighting rigs.
