This summer will be all 10!

One of the most active and creative duo on the Asian indie scene, ‘10’ is coming to Videotage to present an exclusive concert in Hong Kong as part of their China Tour 2010 in July.

Itta and Marqido are two previously solo experimental musicians who paired up in 2005 to form ‘10’. Creating electro-acoustic and psychedelic acousmatic soundscape by laptop, Marqido is a Japanese noise artist with psychedelic and avant-garde influence. Itta is a Korean vocalist who produces music by melodica, piano, accordion, drum kit, mini synthesizer, traditional miniature instruments, and numerous toy instruments, together with her voice.

Organically combining elements of pop, noise, childlike vocals, and electronica, ‘10’ blends all sound perfectly together and render an intricate melody and performance which is ironic, explosive, unexpected but harmonious. Their dynamic compositions and free improvisations conjugate an assortment of instruments and various art forms that transport the audience to a cinematic sci-fi fantasyland.

This is definitely an irresistible and brand-new music journey that you do not want to miss!

國際著名二人組合’10′成立於2005年。他們的名字標誌著他們認識的日子 – 10月10日，同時也象徵著他們的團結。’10′的成員包括南韓前衛音樂家伊塔(itta)和日本噪音藝術家丸喜怒(Marqido)，他們同時亦活躍於獨立發展。他們的名字’10′是由兩個數字’1′+ ’0′所組成 – ’1′來自伊塔的’existance’ (意思是’存在’)，’0′則指丸喜怒的’Maru’(意思是’丸’, qi=喜, do=怒)。
