Known together as THE ORB, the duo of Alex Patterson and Thomas Fehlmann will be doing a live set in Kyoto. They have continued to influence techno music over the years. There is indeed no way to measure the impact that they have had on music all over the world. They have set electronic music free indoors and out. Refusing to give in to this man-made demise of music, they have sown the seeds of evolution. From progressive rock, psychedelic jam music, to even new-wave punk, you can feel so many musical influences in the roots of their sound. They are truly pioneers, who when started to feel the limitations of their music with other instruments, embraced technology in the form of synthesizers and beat boxes. This makes them similar in that effect to artists like James Brown and Pink Floyd, who made outstanding contributions to music. The event, CULTURATI meets THE ORB “LIVE SET”!! will, without doubt, be a show for the times! A dance party along the lines of the out door raves that they so heavily contributed to. As you know, here in East Asia, we are faced with many problems. In dealing with that, there was the Psychedelic Movement in the ‘70s, the Punk Movement in the ‘80s, the Rave Movement in the ‘90s… was there a movement this last decade? Maybe this will prove to be the movement of the next decade. All together we make a decade. Not just those sending out the waves, but all people all over the world, each and every one of us is an artist.
