Please note that this is a matinee performance – doors will open at 2pm and the show will start shortly after.
Very pleased to welcome musician, singer, songwriter and filmmaker, Tujiko Noriko to OTO for a special matinee performance ahead of an evening screening of her and Joji Koyama's new film ‘Kuro’ at Close-Up, following the release of Noriko's soundtrack for the film's release on PAN Records.
Tujiko Noriko is a Japanese singer, songwriter, and filmmaker based in Paris. Since the early 2000s, she has released several albums of experimental pop, singing bittersweet melodies in Japanese and English over glitchy, downtempo electronics and electro-acoustic arrangements. Early releases such as Shojo Toshi (2001) and From Tokyo to Naiagara (2003) were highly acclaimed, attracting attention from IDM and indie pop audiences alike. She has collaborated with several experimental electronic musicians, including Peter Rehberg (as DACM), Lawrence English, and Nobukazu Takemura. After having worked on experimental short films throughout her career, she released her first full-length instrumental soundtrack, Kuro, in 2019; its score was issued by PAN. Crépuscule I & II appeared in 2023, a solo album including several lengthy ambient pieces that was released by Editions Mego and was dedicated to Rehberg, the label's late founder.
