Dear friends, I’m honored to share that I was commissioned to score Sora Hokimoto’s next film, a documentary about the US nuclear tests in the 1950s in the Bikini Atolls and the Japanese fishermen that were inadvertantly exposed to the nuclear blasts. As a prelude to the film, which won’t be out for a while, the director is holding an exhibition with an installation piece featuring scenes from the film for which I also composed the music. It features a new, multichannel long form work for piano, cello, electronics and field recordings made in the fishing villages in Kochi, Japan. Opens this Saturday, 6/12 and runs until 7/4. 甫木元空氏の個展に作曲家として参加します。インスタレーション音楽を担当しました。ビキニ島の水爆実験とその被爆者などをテーマにした興味深い作品です。参加できて光栄です。今週土曜日6/12〜7/4までです。オープニングにはいますので、興味ある方は是非立ち寄ってください。音響設計はWHITELIGHT
Following the completion of Break (12k2040), Fuller set out exploring ways in which he could faithfully translate the music to a live setting. Not content to simply play on top of layers of backing tracks through use of a laptop, Fuller began the arduous but ultimately rewarding task of deconstructing, reassembling and scoring the album in its entirety. With guidance from Kyo Ichinose, the Break Ensemble was formed with Ichinose himself behind the piano and glockenspiel, Anzu Suhara on violin, Atsuko Hatano on Viola and Hiroki Chiba on Contrabass. These recordings and films document the very first concert of Corey Fuller + Break Ensemble performing “Break” in its entirety at WWW in Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan on May 27th, 2019 to a captive and sold-out audience.
Corey Fuller was commissioned to compose a series of multichannel, long-form pieces for Medicha; a new meditation, art and quiet space in Aoyama, Tokyo. Read more about it here
