    About This Event

    Jim O'Rourke and Japan-based musician Eiko Ishibashi present "Kotonski Reworked" in a listening session at Public Records. The session frames their reworking of "Kotonski" as an extended listening event that privileges close attention to arrangement and timbre over conventional performance gestures.

    About Kotonski Reworked

    At Public Records, Jim O’Rourke and Japan-based Eiko Ishibashi present *Kotonski Reworked* as a listening session rather than a conventional set. The piece reconsiders *Kotonski* through edits, layering, and shifts in texture, asking the room to track small changes in arrangement and timbre. There is no widely documented NYC premiere history for this version, but its format fits a local lineage of deep-listening and studio-minded electronic practice. One consequence is that attention becomes the main event, not gesture.
