IMA
IMA is an electro-percussion collaboration of Amma Ateria (electronics) and Nava Dunkelman (percussion). They combine noise music, Japanese poetry, and spatialized sound into a visceral and immersive live performance. Through restraint and release, deep drones collide with metallic lightness and bursts of violence, producing expressionistic industrial intensities that move towards moments of unexpected serenity.
Working with extreme precision and dynamic range, IMA pushes silence and density driven to the brink of breakage, allowing fragility and impermanence to surface from within the overwhelming sonic force. Their music asks: What forms of beauty become possible in the aftermath of collapse?
Performed in the 39-channel ambisonic sound environment of EMPAC’s Studio 1, そして花びらは燃え、散りゆく And The Petals Burst Into Flames... unfolds as a stark and vibrant meditation on surrender, destruction, and transformation—an attempt to regenerate beauty through the unstable catalysts of pleasure, noise, and dissolution.
