Tomoko Yazawa's Absolute-MIX presents Electro-Acoustic Quartet

矢沢朋子プロデュース Absolute-MIX presents 2022
Electro-Acoustic Quartet スコット・ジョンソンの音楽を中心に

Produced by Tomoko Yazawa, Absolute-MIX 2022 will focus on the music of Scott Johnson ( rock guitarist / classical music composer).

S. Johnson created a sensation in the American music scene in the' 90s with his innovative electro-acoustic quartet incorporating voice sampling. These electro-acoustic work also culled the level of artistic integration that even his admirers could not have predicted.

Johnson was one of the few American composers to incorporate rock into the structure of classical music. A thoroughbred of pure classical contemporary music, Johnson, who describes himself as a "hybrid," has been working with rock sounds and classical instrumentation since the '80s, blending electro-acoustic in his works, most of which he himself premiered on electric guitar. Johnson was a pioneer of this approach, which has since become an important trend among younger composers.

He has also been commissioned to compose music by numerous artists, including the Kronos Quartet, which has been performed internationally.

An innovator who consciously pushes modern technology to its limits, Johnson is also a gifted craftsman of rhythm and texture, creating multi-layered masterpieces. Winner of numerous awards, including a Guggenheim Fellowship  and a Koussevitzky Prize.
