Will FK Tokunaga '20

January 2018

Taiko, TIMARA, Tokyo

Will Tokunaga traveled to Tokyo, Japan to create a collaborative work featuring taiko drums and the motion-sensing software Max MSP with Nintendo Wii remotes. In Tokyo, he and a fellow Obie worked with the professional taiko ensemble Amanojaku under the tutelage of Yoichi Watanabe-sensei. They learned some of the techniques behind Watanabe-sensei’s unique compositions which they later incorporated into their own work.
