HIROSHI HASEGAWA
+ DESICCANT
+ EMBARKER
Boot & Saddle, 1131 S. Broad Street
$10 General Admission
Ars Nova Workshop is pleased to present a very rare appearance from Hiroshi Hasegawa, founding member of the legendary Japan noise act, C.C.C.C..
Using a battery of oscillators, ring modulators and field recordings, Hasegawa’s work masterfully drifts between spaced out analog dream drone and a more extreme form of harsher droning. Born in 1963, Hasegawa began his practice with improvised voice and drums. In 1990, he made the founded C.C.C.C. with the concept of improvised mass-noise. Members included Mayuko Hino, Ryuichi Nagakubo, Fumio Kosakai. Hasegawa began his solo unit ASTRO with analog synthesizers in 1993 and continued playing in C.C.C.C. Though C.C.C.C. is no more, Hasegawa has continued with Astro and his numerous collaborations drifting between dreamy spaced out bliss and full on waterfalls of beautiful noise. Now he is actively playing and issuing and doing many collaboration with other artists. And there are released works beyond 50 titles.
