Yuri Umemoto
Concerts
CCA Berlin and INOUWA invite you to the premiere of Concerts by Yuri Umemoto, featuring piano, cello, gamba, violin, and fixed media in the basement of CCA Berlin.
Yuri Umemoto (b. 2002, Tokyo) is a composer currently in residence at Akademie Schloss Solitude, Stuttgart. Building on notation, recording, and editing, his music often incorporates sampled voices and songs in a practice that touches on classical and contemporary music, experimental, ambient, and pop.
In Concerts, fragments of everyday life appear as motives: a neighbor covering his ears, pigeons gathering where they are routinely fed, an ex-girlfirend with a bored expression, brothers absorbed in their video game. Moments of pleasure and casual aggression accumulate alongside the low mechanical chorus of a washing machine.
Limited capacity, 10 € entry, tickets at the door. Drinks and food will be available before and after the performance.
