Magdalena Viraga (Nina Menkes)
USA | 1986 | 1h 30m | EN | no subs
Japanese percussionist and marimba player Aya Suzuki has been making music since childhood. Her serene, minimalist compositions – using metal bars, glass bowls, vibraphone and voice – reveal a refined sense of texture and float somewhere between ethereal sound art, contemporary classical and poetic improvisation. She studied with marimba legend Keiko Abe and has been based in Brussels for several years. In 2024, she released Winged Seeds on the KRAAK label. She has performed solo at festivals such as Concertgebouw Brugge, STUK, Handelsbeurs and Muziekcentrum Kortrijk.
This project is the first part of a broader soundtrack series on the work of Nina Menkes, a collaboration between VIERNULVIER and the Los Angeles-based production company Arbelos.
“One of the most provocative and challenging artists today.”
