The Blackest Flux featuring Yutaka Makino:: December 10, 2009, 8:00 - 10:00 pm :: AXIOM Center for New and Experimental Media, 141 Green Street, Jamaica Plain, MA.

The Blackest Flux is an experiment toward abstraction of space/body. By using acoustic and psychoacoustic phenomena, it creates a state of disorientation and a series of tactile movement of sound masses over space.

Yutaka Makino is an artist and researcher currently based in Los Angeles. He seeks to amalgamate the historic precedents of computational composition and science, involving research in non-standard sound synthesis, spatial perception, acoustics, collective behavior, complex dynamical systems and emergence. His works range from sculpture to sound works including computer music compositions and spatial sound installations, which utilize spatial projection processes such as Wave Field Synthesis. His works have been recognized/performed at numerous festivals and competitions internationally. He has been awarded the Prix Ton Bruynèl 2007 and the DAAD Berliner Künstlerprogramm 2010. He was in residence at the MacDowell Colony, Visby International Center for Composers, TU Berlin Electronic Music Studio and STEIM.
