NIMB/NIMB by Andrew Leslie Hooker+Toshimaru Nakamura

Andrew Leslie Hooker no-input mixing board
Toshimaru Nakamura no-input mixing board


"...the no-input mixing board is not something that should be controlled. I think a virtue of this setup is its uncertainty. What I am doing is being obedient and resigned to this unpredictable setup in front of an audience, discovering and observing the changes of sounds with people. [...] There is no model, there is no paragon, there is no teacher. Everybody has their own goal to achieve, or there is not even a goal anyway.” [Toshimaru Nakamura]

The forest’s interior
a history of insects
earth
brook
ivy
grass
small animals
streaming water
hydrangea reflected in water
the forest drawn from inside
a road of withered leaves
the archeology of gestures that stand still
like stones in the forest interior
a sky of a hundred forms of waves
the dance of birds calling
collecting air in feathers
perfume as the extract of the brutal murder of flowers and trees
the sublimation into perfume
catharsis
the repetition of existence and appearance
another time within that condensation of a vast expanse of time
I change continuously
between the cloud’s skin and the reverse-side of skin
the face in the mirror and this face
leaving the body to the grass
the fading of countless cells
dandelion of the soul
dividing in every direction
fragile things in the hand
each moment there is life
and death
the doubled shadow in the single point of I
the body as the place which circulates the inside and the outside
of life and death
the human being as a single blade of grass with twin blossoms
the body is two tears
two stones
a shadow drawn by water
although I have forgotten death
I am known by death
when death comes I will offer my body to the earth
I will walk in the forest’s interior
