Elastic Arts: Kikù Hibino – Radial Categories + Jay Peppers + Sadie Woods!
Kikù Hibino
Using the format of dance music as an understructure, It will create a sound art that sounds a little strange–music that makes you think, “Huh?” as you hear it play on.“Radial Categories” is rooted in early Chicago House music, a type of minimalist electronic music that emerged out of the innovative use of relatively inexpensive music tools in a harsh economic and cultural climate.
This project is partially supported by an Individual Artist Program Grant from the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs & Special Events, as well as a grant from the Illinois Arts Council Agency, a state agency through federal funds provided by the National Endowment for the Arts.
