"This duo is focused on avoiding interaction in improvisation. We use headphones, listening to some John Cage tunes while we are playing together, so we cannot hear each other." (Olivier)

Morimoto's work focuses on the unstable acoustic phenomenon between everyday objects such as water and stones and the technological medium. His work consists of a search for small and differentiated structures, and the attempt to discover this random phenomenon through and within the technological medium. Through this method, his active activity transforms into passive observation.

"Olivier di Placido is a self-taught musician who performs on electric guitar. His approach is mainly focused on the manipulation and the sonic possibilities of each elements of the guitar as a sound source (Unscrewed neck, unfixed pick-up, broken strings or not, electricity and short circuit...) He’s ausculting and trashing each of this elements by moving the pick-up around the instrument. He develops a world of tension and rupture with an interest for non narrative structure and spontaneous form.

Seiji Morimoto Born in Tokyo 1971, studied musicology at the Kunitachi College of Music, graduating in 1996.
