- On this episode of Primary Optics, filmed at Prague’s Lunchmeat Festival, NONOTAK speak to Fact about their inspirations and the technology behind their ambitious audio-visual performances.
NONOTAK is an audio-visual collaboration between illustrator Noémie Schipfer and musician Takami Nakamoto. Together they’ve been exploring space, sound and light across installations and live shows since 2011, appearing at festivals such as MUTEK, Sónar and Houston’s Day For Night.
The duo’s extensive catalogue of works focus on the interplay between Schipfer’s geometric patterns and Nakamoto’s sound design, brought to life by stunning projections and lighting, triggered with the aid of Ableton Live and Resolume.
“With NONOTAK, it’s more like drawing inside a space compared to when I was drawing on the paper or painting,” Schipfer says. Nakamoto, who is a former architect, approaches the creative process almost like the design of a structure.
“When I write music I always think about spaces or there’s always a sort of abstract vision going on in my head,” Nakamoto says, “and then I start to put colours or emotion in the idea I have and I start to think about what it could sound like.”
In this episode of Primary Optics, Fact met up with NONOTAK at the 2020 edition of Lunchmeat Festival in Prague, where they performed their stunning AV show Shiro, which took place in the city’s Divadio Archa. The duo spoke to us about their career, inspirations and the technology behind their ambitious audio-visual productions.
I saw them, at “day for night’ a few years ago. Awesome set!
This is so cooool
I wish I could see this performance in real gig
You guys could do nonotak interviews all week and I'd watch em on repeat
You all prolly dont give a shit but does anybody know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account..?
I was stupid lost my account password. I love any tips you can give me!
@Milan Lee Instablaster :)
@Dylan Salvador Thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im trying it out now.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
I am inspired by this. 🤍
Boards of Canada & Nonotak collab would be transcendent.
Aphex Twin & Nonotak collab would be dangerous.
Want.
😁
Thank you.
Cool stuff/band/project... Cheers! -ant
I hear some old geezers complain that there is too much focus on the visuals now days in electronic music. This just proves again that music and visuals can be very complementary to each other, as he said himself. Lovely!
can be? They are always. There is nothing we can do about it. Who said this - I guess I 'll need to talk with that guy and prove him wrong!
@@microfx Hold on, I'll send him over.
Idea is great, but in this exact case audiovisual pressure is too intense, it should be smaller sometimes to give possibility of rest
how tf did they have a full crowd in a pandemic
The french accent makes me proud of my country
What's your country? USA?
