Junko
Nature
sound performance, italian première

Nature, an unamplified performance by Junko, is a unique occasion. It’s like swallowing a spider to catch a fly. A superhuman scream that embodies what Barthes calls 'significance': beyond the encrypted message, it resonates. Junko is like a white shade after Hiroshima. Her overexposed diaphanous body, her scream, miles away from the hysteria of other yellers in the noise music landscape. It is just terror, or call it beauty. She almost appears disconnected from herself, as if her voice were detached from her body, each evolving in a separate space. Her punctured tongue giving access to the unutterable and unspeakable. Dyslexic, monstrous voice, rising to inhuman high pitches, held on the threshold of auditory pain, almost endlessly. Junko’s scream recalls the phrasing of free music saxophonists, a common musical naivety devoid of academicism and technique.
