Satoshi Takeishi explores multi-cultural, electronics and improvisational music with local musicians and composers in New York. The performance takes place at THE NEW YORK ELECTRONIC ART FESTIVAL WAVE(length)s concert series in New York's historic St. Paul's Chapel in lower Manhattan.

Rescheduled for Labor Day: Thomas Martinez will perform by broadcasting separate but interwoven field recordings made on the island to FM radio receivers placed in the grass outside of Building 10-B. The audio tracks, processed using custom made software by the artist, create a beautifully altered version of the island’s real sonic landscape by magnifying and coloring small moments in time. The recordings mix with the natural sound environment to create two related but wholly different realities.
