Paul Ritch has taken the minimal scene by storm this last year. After no more than a year after his first release the young Frenchman from Paris has already played top clubs such as CITY HALL BARCELONA, REX PARIS, FUSE BRUSSELS & GOA ROME and has released tracks on GET PHYSICAL, RESOPAL & MINISKETCH as well as on KICKBOXER under his Handycraft alias. Right now one of RICHIE HAWTIN's favorite artists, his very popular 'Winter Ceremony' track on Resopal not only found its way to the front of Richie's record box but at the M_nus party in May ripped the La Foret venue apart when he dropped it 4 tracks into his set. Other fans of his productions include some of todays hottest DJ's and producers ANJA SCHNEIDER, ADAM BEYER, DAN GHENACIA, JONA, DJ T, MANDY, DAVID SQUILLACE, MARTIN EYERER, MARKO NASTIC & DJ MISJAH. With his still momentum gathering WINTER CEREMONY EP on Resopal Red & FORTUNA track on the GET PHYSICAL MIAMI SAMPLER plus 2 releases forthcoming on Get Physical Paul is looking more & more like the future hero: his sparse, intricate, funky, latin-influenced & electro-led alike, pacy rhythms are helping lead the evoloution of minimal towards some seriously fun territory.
昨年ミニマル・シーンに怒涛の勢いで飛び出したフランス出身のPaul Ritch、初リリースより一年も経たない内にCITY HALL BARCELONA, REX PARIS, FUSE BRUSSELS 、GOA ROMEなどの ヨーロッパ中の著名クラブでプレイ、リリースに至ってはGET PHYSICAL, RESOPAL、MINISKETCHとKICKBOXER (Handycraft名義で)などのレーベルより作品を出している。あのRichie Hawtinが絶賛するアーティストの一人であり、彼の「Winter Ceremony」(Resopal) はRichieの大のお気に入りトラックとして5月のLa Foret MuseumでのM_nusパーティーでRichieが掛けた4つ目のレコードでフロアもこのレコードで大きく盛り上がった。Richie以外にもあのANJA SCHNEIDER, ADAM BEYER, DAN GHENACIA, JONA, DJ T, MANDY, DAVID SQUILLACE, MARTIN EYERER, MARKO NASTIC やDJ MISJAHなどのオオモノアーティストがPaulのリリースを好んでかけている。未だにその勢いも止まる気配を見せないResopal RedのWinter Ceremony EP、GET PHYSICAL MIAMI SAMPLERのFortuna、同レーベルよりさらに2つのリリース予定とPaulの今後がかなり期待されている。ニューヒーローのPaulのまばらで複雑渇ファンキーなラテンサウンドを取り入れた独自のミニマルミュージックは、これからのミニマルと言える。

光によって作り出される残像で描くアニメーションです。今回のKonzept Mausでは,PIKA PIKAのLIVE PERFORMANCEをおこないます。いくつもの画像からひとつのアニメーションが出来上がるまでのすべての過程:1コマ1コマのイメージ、そして最後にすべてのイメージをループでつなげて出来上がるパラパラ漫画のようなアニメーションを全てスクリーンに映し出し、観客の目を釘付けにすること間違いナシです。当日はLIVE PERFORMANCEの最後に観客のみなさんにglow stickを配りますので、ぜひ会場のみなさんにもパフォーマンスに加わっていただき、PIKAPIKAの楽しさを体感・体験していただきたいとおもっております!PIKAPIKA performance by TOCHKA (Takashi Nagata and Kazue Monno) http://tochka.jp + RITZ
PIKA PIKA is penlight animation written and created on the fly. Each image is first drawn with penlights, then connected together with subsequent others to make almost instant animation. They project the whole procedure on the screen during the performance. The Pika PIka film was awarded at the Ottawa Animation Festival and has been shown in numerous places all over the world. It also won an award in animation at an art festival organized by the Agency of Cultural Affairs of Japan. At Konzept Maus as at other events ther audience will get a chance to be part of the performance. TOCHKA is a creative unit by Takeshi Nagata & Kazue Monno. They've been pika pika'ing for about two years. They are also well-known VJ's. RITZ is a live painter who joined Tochka to work on Pika Pika one & a half years ago.
