Computer music and sampling pioneer Carl Stone presents what he calls his “digital prayer” for the victims of the Tohoku earthquake. Darda was formed out of multiple recordings of the live vocalizations of Makiko Sakurai, a practitioner of the ancient form of Buddhist chanting known as shomyo. Along with Stone, Sakurai, laptop composer Christophe Charles and bassist Pearl Alexander, inimitable cellist Hiromochi Sakamoto will also be on hand to deliver his signature power-tool body blows to his cello.
