恒例となりつつあるRaft・ライブツアーが始まります！4回目の今回は「Bonsai」。島国で育まれた独自の伝統芸能は、今や、世界を魅了するアートに。しかも各国のセンスが融合してから、さらなる可能性を生んでいる盆栽。Raftもそう。日本のミュージシャンがタイのミュージシャンと出会い、今までの自分たち、そして日本ではつくれなかった音楽をつくり、少しずつ海外に広がろうとしています。日タイのアーティストによる音とパフォーマンスの芸術作品、肌で感じまくってください！
WEDNESDAY
Naive and worldly at once, Wednesday’s music is good-natured and sweet but it’s the music made by a grown up and for the grown ups. His ‘Bangkok Session’ was released earlier this year comprising ten ambient pop songs, all instrumental, all of which are often played live, each time differently – looped guitars looping at different rhythms create infinite variations – and that is Wednesday’s main aesthetics and what we have come to love about him' (Supersweetlive.com)
