The Imperfect Orchestra were delighted to have been commissioned by Lo Recordings to perform brand new music based on the work of Susumu Yokota at a Daylight Music Concert at Union Chapel, London as part of a memorial event celebrating the late composers life, and prolific output.

​

For this commission, Imperfect Orchestra explored specific elements from the work of Susumu Yokota and developed it into an eclectic live performance that creates a narrative exploring some of the themes that were important to his life and his work; including sampling and resampling audio, gamelan, ambience, found sounds and field recordings, Buddhism and electronica.

 

Alongside guitar, glockenspiel, keyboard and percussion, this 5 piece iteration of The Imperfect Orchestra used singing bowl, heavily affected vocals, a handmade box dulcimer, and gongs & bells to develop their soundscape.
