EYE

EYE is a visionary of radical sound and image, best known as the founder of the‬‭ legendary avant-noise group Boredoms. Since the 1980s, his kaleidoscopic output—spanning‬‭ noise, psychedelia, performance art, and visual collage—has shaped Japan’s experimental‬ scene and reverberated globally. From performing with Sonic Youth and Nam June Paik to‬‭ launching a chaotic radio residency on NTS, EYE is an architect of organized disorder. His‬ infamous performances, including driving a bulldozer into a Tokyo venue, are part of‬ underground lore. Still shapeshifting, he continues to push limits of sonic assault and ecstatic‬ form across media and continents.‬ This US premiere is a new live A/V collaboration with C.O.L.O. from Osaka’s Cosmic Lab.

aya is a UK-based composer, producer, and performer whose work blurs soundsystem subcultures with digital disintegration, post-hardcore memory, and avant-pop irreverence. Her critically lauded debut album im hole (Hyperdub) exploded with sonic disruption and lyrical intensity, earning Pitchfork’s Best New Music and reshaping experimental music discourse. In 2025, she follows with hexed!, a continuation of her genre-dismantling alchemy. aya’s commissions span CTM Festival, BBC, and Manchester International Festival, and she co-runs the boundary-pushing label YCO. Her practice channels memory, embodiment, and transfiguration into brutalist sound sculptures that refuse containment. This show is her US live debut, and the premiere of a new live A/V collaboration with virtual performance studio Team Rolfes.
