Aloe Blacc x MIKI x Jaybo

At MADE in Berlin, I met with my string quintet that I’d formed specifically for this project with Aloe Blacc. This was the premier of “MOMENTS WITH~~~”, a chamber music concept I’d designed for MADE. My goal was for the audience to experience urban artists in a remarkable venue with no technical setups, no microphones, and without the usual safety net on which contemporary music relies, providing only simple and pure enjoyment. The chamber music ensemble was the medium for an extraordinary hybrid of popular and classical music, and with this auditory collaboration came a visual component. MADE cooperated with artist Jaybo, who created a work that expressed his feelings on this unusual and extraordinary collaboration.
