Eiko Ishibashi & Jim O'rourke - Pareidolia

Pareidolia: The tendency to perceive a specific, often meaningful image in a random or ambiguous visual pattern; to see shapes or make pictures out of randomness.
Eiko Ishibashi and Jim O’Rourke toured Europe for two weeks in 2023, a wonderful passage through France, Switzerland, Italy and Ireland; ‘Pareidolia’, the duo’s fifth collaborative release, is a remix
made up of resonances from those shows.
The movement of sound in each performance and the relationships of sound between them; a dynamic medley of colour and shape to pulse through earbuds, speaker cones and the air immediately surrounding you.
Improvisation is the preferred collaborative mode for Eiko and Jim.
They both prepare separately, without discussing anything beforehand.
The dialogue in the moment determines the performance; anything that takes place is a possible point of
departure, allowing for a unique experience each time they play.
