APMT Night

Designers, artists, tech geeks and web soothsayers will be descending on Tokyo on April 30 for the sixth APMT6, a conference organised by 'creative portal site' CBCnet. As fascinating as all that sounds, we're honestly more excited about the after party. APMT Night features some of Tokyo's more interesting electronica artists alongside performers more associated with the austere world of sound art. Keiichiro Shibuya will be reprising his ATAK Dance Hall project with Evala, while media artists Norimichi Hirakawa and Kumiko Noguchi unveil their new collaboration, Typingmonkeys. You'll probably have to rewire your brain before you can dance to laptop duo Dub-Russell, but bass scene heroes Nerdz Era and Quarta 330 should be a safer bet. This being a designer-friendly event, you can also expect visuals from W+K Tokyo's Genki Ito, Setagaya-based design team Metaphor and others.
