062 in collaboration with Co-Prosperity is thrilled to present TENGGER.
TENGGER is a traveling musical family made up of Pan-Asian couple ITTA (from South Korea) and MARQIDO (from Japan), who create their brand of psychedelic New-Age drone magic through the use of voice, Indian harmonium, and toy instruments (played by ITTA), and synths and electronics (played by MARQIDO). The duo initially started with the moniker “10,” but since the birth of their son RAAI (who joins them on tour and plays voice, synth, toy instruments, and dance performance on stage) in 2012, they have called themselves TENGGER (meaning ‘unlimited expanse of sky’ in Mongolian) to mark the expansion of the family. It also means ‘huge sea’ in Hungarian. Travel, as a spiritual experience in real environments, and the sound between the space and the audience have been central themes of their works. The family’s yearly pilgrimages inform every aspect of their art.
Kikù Hibino will be opening the night and this concert is FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. Please join us on March 20, 2024. Doors open at 7:00 PM.
Sound artist Kikù Hibino has dedicated his career to exploring the complex interplay between nature's inherent structures and the human imagination through electronic music. Inspired by the intricate beauty of human languages, natural patterns, optical illusions, and moirés, Kikù crafts electronic compositions that challenge traditional rhythmic structures and melodies, inviting listeners into a world where linear and non-linear converge harmoniously.
Represented by the Italian record label Superpang, Kikù's innovative work has been showcased in venues across the States, including the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts, Reva and David Logan Center for the Arts, and Experimental Sound Studio, among others. His contributions to sound art have been recognized with a 2017 Individual Artist Grant from the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and a 2021 Outer Ear Artist in Residency at Experimental Sound Studio.
