There is something very delicate yet powerful about watching a record being cut live, as is shown in the first couple of seconds of this film. It sets the scene for the coming together of two artists and two eras of New York – Ikue Mori from cult 70s no wave band DNA and producer/singer and rising star of the current downtown scene, Julianna Barwick. This utterly bewitching improvised performance is just one of four pieces that make up FRKWYS Vol.6, the latest release from RVNG Intl.‘s formidable collaboration off-shoot. Full details here.
Catch Julianna Barwick supporting Emeralds at Village Underground in London this Saturday 21st May.
FRKWYS Vol.6: Julianna Barwick & Ikue Mori LP will be released on June 14th 2011
