YUKO NEXUS6 is a sound artist based in Hikone, Japan. Using a mixture of field recordings, cut-up samples, digital processing, and her own voice, Yuko creates beguiling, often slyly humorous, always wonderfully idiosyncratic sonic collages and compositions. Conscious of the unspectacular dryness of an artist in front of her computer, in performance she is constantly inventing and adding little elements like grains of sand that derail her music towards something alive and astute. She received an honorary mention in Europe’s Prix Ars Electronic competition in 2003. This is Yuko’s first Boston performance.

ALESSANDRO BOSETTI is a composer, saxophonist and sound artist. Bosetti’s work centers on the musicality and unusual aspects of the spoken word. His text-sound compositions navigate the boundary between sound anthropology and composition, often employing field research and interviews as the basis for his abstract compositions. As a saxophonist, he has developed an original instrumental language, using extended techniques and a variety of noises, and which are strongly influence by electronic music. Bosetti was born in Milan, Italy and currently lives and works in Berlin.
