Looks like Karl Escritt is creating his own sort of PauseTalk in Kyoto, at Japonica Music Kyoto, adding to it a great live element that will kick off this coming Friday (December 1) with guests that will include O.Lamm and Digiki (as part of their current Japan tour), and Midori Hirano. Here’s how Karl describes this new bi-monthly series of events:
Creative Japonica is a new event organised by the Japonica Music Store Kyoto and Kyoto-based English Graphic Designer Karl Escritt. The event is intended to be a hub for new creativity in Kyoto and the surrounding areas. Every two months all types of creatives — illustrators, designers, filmmakers, animators, musicians, producers, etc. — are invited to meet at the Japonica event space to showcase their work and network with other creatives. Every event will feature a guest speaker working professionally in a creative field, and participants at the event will have the opportunity to ask questions and show work to the guest speaker. Live music will also feature during every event, and musicians are encouraged to bring along demo CDs as the chance to play live at future events will be possible.
So…
If you’re an illustrator, graphic designer, painter, artist, bring your portfolio…
If you’re a filmmaker, animator, VJ, bring along some DVDs of your work…
If you’re a musician, produce, DJ, bring some demo CDs…
Bring business cards…
For this week’s first edition, doors will open at 18:00, the talk session will start at 18:30, and the live show will start at 19:15, with doors closing at 23:00.
