IMA
IMA [ii-ma] ไป. ็ฌ้.
IMA is electro-percussion noise music of Japanese poetry by Amma Ateria (electronics) and Nava Dunkelman (percussion). Through restraint and release, deep drones against metallic lightness and violence, the duo evokes expressionistic industrial intensities in search of serenity. Their palate strives for transformative intentions through instrumental precision, with silence and density driven to brinks of breakage as impermanence of beauty emerges. IMA marches forth with starkness and surrender into the aftermath and dust of destruction, seeking regeneration of beauty through catalysts of pleasure.
IMA has been presented in festivals and venues including The Stone, Roulette Intermedium, Other Minds Festival, San Francisco Electronic Music Festival, CCRMA at Stanford University, San Francisco Art Institute, and Music in the Fault Zone at Mills College. They have performed and collaborated with Ikue Mori, Pauchi Sasaki, Fred Frith, John Zorn, Matmos, Zeena Parkins, Erik Friedlander, Brian Chase, and many others.
