IKUE MORI & MAJA S.K. RATKJE
Maja S.K Ratkje
Sound and Music, [no.signal] and TUSK Music are delighted to bring together the electrifying improvisors Ikue Mori and Maja S.K. Ratkje for their first ever duo performances together.
This unmissable string of dates brings together two truly iconic female figures of high-grade musical experimentation. Having pursued unseen angles in rock music in the late-seventies with the legendary DNA, the Japanese-born Mori has become one of the world’s most celebrated and respected improv auteurs, while since the turn of the century the Norwegian Ratkje has dazzled with her maverick vocal work, feted compositions and thrilling explorations of pure noise. These four rooms will be filled with wild sonic colours, forged by a pair of musicians who span two generations of fearlessly inventive soundcraft.
