A new type of trio presenting organic and mechanical music, consisting of a drum duo (Itoken and Jimanica) and geometrical pop images by visual artist Yamaguchi Takashi (Ymg). Their interactive “live installation”, in which two sets of drums control images that play music by synchronizing the instruments and images, has been attracting attention since Itoken/Jimanica/Ymg first performed in 2006. This has come not only from the music industry, but also from those working in broader artistic contexts.
