#introduction
Hi this is Cookie! I have worked as a technician in various art studios and #makerspaces for the past ten years. For longer than that I have made art and music. I have also done a lot of work in #ArtEducation including performative workshops. I run an Open Source #ComputerClub at u of toronto.

Currently I am working on a #webart project called “Exodus Big Techius: Root to leaving Google/Apple/Microsoft for the Collective Open Source”. My other current focus is prepping for #OHS2026 where I will be exhibiting a sound #sculpture and a new art book.

For fun, I'm very into #knitting and am a member of the local spinner and weavers guild. I love hiking and native pollinator gardening. I am planning to learn #bikepacking and the bass clarinet this summer. I love anachronisms, synchronicities, and #esoterica. I wonder about becoming a shepherd or lighthouse keeper.

Here's a photo of something swampy I knit that I feel speaks to my personality :)

Co-diffusé avec Mardi Spaghetti

Tatsuya Nakatani est un percussionniste d’avant-garde, un compositeur et un artiste sonore. Actif sur la scène internationale depuis les années 1990, Nakatani a publié plus de 80 enregistrements et effectué de nombreuses tournées, donnant plus de 150 concerts par an. Il donne des classes de maîtres et des conférences dans les universités et les conservatoires de musique du monde entier. Originaire du Japon, il vit dans la ville désertique de Truth or Consequences, au Nouveau-Mexique. Grâce à ses activités dans les domaines de la musique nouvelle, de l’improvisation et de la musique expérimentale, Nakatani multiplie les collaborations.

La musique de Nakatani est centrée sur un gong adapté pour être joué à l’archet, soutenu par un ensemble de tambours, de cymbales et de bols chantants. Avec ses archets Kobo qu’il sculpte à la main, il a consacré des décennies à affiner et développer son univers sonore : un agencement de vibrations qui s’enlisent dans des strates scintillantes de silence et de texture. Au cœur de cette œuvre contemporaine, on perçoit encore le rythme dramatique, l’élégance formelle et l’espace (ma) caractéristiques de la musique traditionnelle japonaise.

Cosmic Diver est un duo de performance sonore et vidéo composé de Lina Choi et Robin-Dimitrije Gosselin-Monasevic qui explore un monde sous-marin imaginaire où les frontières entre les profondeurs de la mer et l'espace s'estompent. À travers des paysages sonores immersifs, le duo invite le public à dériver entre les dimensions dans un état onirique.

IARA108 présente son tout premier concert avec Shota Nakamura à la guitare et au chant, Markus Floats à la basse et Kyle Hutchins à la batterie.

Co-presented with Mardi Spaghetti

Tatsuya Nakatani is an avant-garde percussionist, composer, and artist of sound. Active internationally since the 1990s, Nakatani has released over 80 recordings and tours extensively, performing over 150 concerts a year. Originally from Japan, he makes his home in the desert town of Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. With his activity in new music, improvisation, and experimental music, Nakatani has a long history of collaboration.

Nakatani’s distinctive music centered around his adapted bowed gong, supported by an array of drums, cymbals, and singing bowls. In consort with his personally hand-carved Kobo Bows, he has spent decades refining and developing his sound as an arrangement of formations of vibrations, incorporated in shimmering layers of silence and texture. Within this contemporary work, one can still recognize the dramatic pacing, formal elegance and space (ma) felt in traditional Japanese music.

Cosmic Diver is a duo sound-video performance comprised of Lina Choi and Robin-Dimitrije Gosselin-Monasevic fthat explores an imaginary underwater world blurring the lines between the deep sea and outer space. Through immersive soundscapes, they invite the audience to drift between these realms in a dreamlike state.

IARA108 presents their first live set ever with Shota Nakamura on guitar and vocals, Markus Floats on bass and Kyle Hutchins on drums.

Had a fun jam with my mate Peter Newman yesterday [in the midst of a somewhat stressful day].
No input feedback thru mixer and pedals for me, Peter was using an array of fun pedals for feedback & further processing my outputs, plus percussive and lush synth elements via his Ableton Push #soundart #livejam #noinputmixing #someinputmixing #freeform #noisemusic #experimentalmusic

pleasure to play for this special live edition of the radio programme left of leeds
