SAM Late Nights
How does sound occupy the space between form and emptiness?
Join us for a special edition of SAM Late Nights, where the depths of Hiroshi Sugimoto: Form Is Emptiness are brought to life through an evening of sound and site-specific response.
This edition will feature the live set, ultratronics by Japanese sound and visual artist, Ryoji Ikeda, based on his 2022 album release of the same name. ‘ultratronics' featuring audio material recorded between 1989 and 1999 and compositions created between 2013 and 2022, ’ultratronics’ explores sound’s arithmetical and computational essence and renders them into the propulsive auditory experience that constitutes Ikeda’s sound signature. Taking the shape of an audiovisual concert, ultratronics uses raw data and mathematical models to generate music and projections.
Opening the night is a collaborative performance featuring Jakarta-based sound artist Wahono (founder of DIVISI62) and RAGAURA, a Singaporean trio consisting of Sonia Kwek, XUE, and Josh Tirados. Presented in partnership with Strange Weather, their live set weaves Wahono's industrial pulses, fractured electronics, and gamelan-deconstruction logic together with RAGAURA’s striking, body-percussion practice.
