Iktus Percussion

Jan 17, 2012

Congrats to our good friend and amazing pianist, Taka Kigawa:

Musical America selected Taka's August recital as "one of the notable concerts in the first half of the season 2011 – 2012!"

"Taka Kigawa: Recital - Le Poisson Rouge, August 22, 2011. How's this for summer fare? Stockhausen: 'KlavierstückX.' Saariaho: 'Prelude' and 'Ballade.' Boulez: Sonata No. 2. While I can't vouch for every note, there's no doubt aboutKigawa's ambition and conviction. Thrilling pianism."

Congrats to our buddy Levy Lorenzo for his Air Marimba project, selected for STEIM's HandMade Music's Patterns and Pleasure Festival in Amsterdam, NL!

"Reminiscent of a traditional marimba that is struck with mallets, this electronic musical instrument allows the musician to play the air above the bars to make sound.”
