Japanese duo Tenniscoats in collaboration with artist Umeda Tetsuya means an evening of improvisation and playfulness, maybe indoors, maybe outdoors… But for sure it will take place at Signal and Grand restaurant/bar.

Umeda Tetsuya’s momentary installations and performances are marked by fluidity creating light, sound, or movement by waste articles and daily commodities, and incorporating the on-the-spot situation in his work. Powered by gravity, wind, centrifugal force or falling objects, Umeda’s works keep the situation unstable and unpredictable. Tenniscoats’ music is all about the here and now – next time everything will sound different. They are true improvisors inside their own musical world altering it along the way and adjusting it to the spacial and acoustic conditions that arise through Umeda’s interventions.

The collaboration with Tenniscoats and Tetsuya Umeda is part of a series of events at Signal called When the dusk starts falling and is supported by The Swedish Arts Grants Committee.
