IMA (Nava Dunkelman and Amma Ateria)

IMA is the electro-percussion collaboration of Amma Ateria (electronics) and Nava Dunkelman (percussion), who combine noise music, Japanese poetry, and spatialized sound into a visceral and immersive live performance.

On Sept. 3, they premiere Nava’s ACF | create-funded work, そして花びらは燃え、散りゆく And The Petals Burst Into Flames… at the Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center in Troy, NY. Performed in EMPAC’s 39-channel ambisonic sound environment, the work for percussion and electronics is a stark and vibrant meditation on surrender, destruction, and transformation — an attempt to regenerate beauty through the unstable catalysts of pleasure, noise, and dissolution.
