Sakuran - Electroacoustic Research & a bit of fun

About Me

Sakuran is chaos, it is a puzzle, it is I, its an ensemble, at some times it is a circus, it is a experience and a love for music and visuals. It is a wide range of music and collaborations, i have no idear what i am doing, but i keep meeting wonderfull people, so i just continue. It sometimes is research, sometimes an exercise in coincidense and basicaly luck. Not a 'chance operation', a 'Luck Operation'. Its sometimes just the fun in programming impossible beats, and than letting my friends struggle with it. Or just recording a single sound, voice or instrument as simple and honest possible.So, whats up for 2007Being more than halfway through 2007 a little update.I'v been doing a lot of sound design these last 8 months, so unfortunately my music wil have to wait a bit. It was actually very nice to concentrate only on sound for film, even live when Fred Becker and Sakuran teamed up to perform a newly composed soundtrack to Charley Caplins 'City Lights'. Where Sakuran performed the sounds and multi-instrumentalist Fred Becker played themes and music score. Later this year (september) Sakuran wil perform the Kreng score to Piet Arfeuiles adaptation of Hamlet. Its a laptop score, performed live.Studio work is ongoing and in a nonstop drive for the moment, giving me almost no time left to myspace, so please forgive me my ghostlike state at this moment. In the studio i am doing for the moment the recording, capturing of Krengs new sounds, to be used on the first Miasma record. Hopefully recording C-line again very soon, the new tracks are there, we just need to find the time, and off course recording the next step of Sakuran's Liquid series.Tagestöter, the new theatre play of Piet Arfeuille, scored and performed live by Sakuran, date are somewhere on this site, so check it out! this paly is a true trip, a little visual and sonic pearl in a big black oyster.You can find some little clips of past and present work. enjoy the tripfrederik sakuran..QUICKSILVER ABSTRACT ____________________________________________________________ _______________..Alcaline mark I live at Zenith Yannick D on drums, Fredje Bas on laptop, MS-10 and Fender Bass________________________________________________________ ___________________
