Kodō Cycles

In "Cycles," Kodo captures the essence of natural rhythms, exploring themes like the rising and setting of the sun and the changing tides. The performance showcases all new compositions, pushing the boundaries of traditional drumming. The artists engage in a creative process that incorporates spatial and mathematical concepts, resulting in soundscapes that evoke deep resonance and connection to the natural world.

The piece includes various performances, such as Ten-Ten, Games, Solo, Trio, Lagrange Point, and Gyoei, culminating in an encore at 5:30. Each segment contributes to the overall exploration of cyclical patterns and the profound impact of nature on rhythm and sound. This ambitious project represents a significant evolution in Kodo's artistic journey, reflecting their commitment to innovation and creativity in performance art.
