Atsuhiro Ito

Event information

ATSUHIRO ITO

Japan’s Atsuhiro Ito performs using his device the Optron, essentially fluorescent light tubes with integrated guitar pick-ups sent through guitar amp stacks. When the voltage applied to the tubes is altered, the lights flicker and the pick-ups harvest the electromagnetic noise perfectly synchronized with the flickering light, the intense noise creating a visual hallucination and the sounds veering from some kind of extreme techno to outright noise.


For his first UK tour though, he’ll be performing solo in a live show that straddles extreme noise and performance art to create a genuine sonic spectacle.
