kazehito/lopes duo
kazehito seki, voice
pedro lopes, turntables
Together Kazehito Seki [voice] and Pedro Lopes [turntablism] remind us how far our ears have been falsely washed by electronic devices: often when you hear Kazehito you imagine subtractive synthesizers and digital filters, which in fact are not there, we have forgotten how flexible and fast vocal chords are. Similarly, when we hear and see Pedro play it becomes hard to believe there is no single chip, no digital processing. We fantasize about granular synthesis, drum-machines and effects processors but the reality he is just drumming on small microphones, of the very sensitive kind, called needles.
