Last year I introduced Toshio Iwai's TENORI-ON performance at part of last year's ARS Electronica 2005. Following on, Sonar sees Mr. Iwai creating sounds from 3 of his "instruments" - Sound Lens, TENORI-ON, and Electro Plankton.

Rootsy sounds of Sound Lens, TENORI-ON's short sound loops slowly overlapping to create music, and Electro Plankton's catchy, poppy sounds... Although very experimental, Mr. Iwai manages to present it as entertainment. Apparently this was the first live performance of this sort for him, and I feel immensely happy that I was able to see and record it.
