  • Bio

    Kanoko Nishi is an improviser currently based in SF/Bay Area, CA. Although her primary training is in classical piano performance, she is also interested in improvisational music making, both in a solo context and in collaborations with other artists. She has been exploring on the piano, as well as on her second instrument, koto (13, or 17-string Japanese zither), various extended techniques in addition to more traditional techniques, in order to widen the rage of vocabularies on each instrument and to enable them to adapt to different musical genres. Kanoko also enjoys collaborating with dancers, poets and visual artists to push the limits of her musical language and find ways to communicate with other forms of performance art.

    The field of vision is comparable, for me, to the terrain of an archeological dig. To see is to be on guard, to wait for what emerges from the background, without any name, without any particular interest what was silent will speak, what is closed will open and will take on a voice...-Virilio

    A scene is not just a scene but a vision of possibilities inherent in the subject...-Wade

    may you be well I hope, and have a beautiful day my dear friend, thank you for joining me on my new page and for sharing a piece of your own world and heart with me
    may you never give up your art, for even just being yourself, following your voice is art and I am grateful that whatever that voice of yours, that voice of soul, that voice of heart may be that you share it with me.

    much love
    much respect
    much understanding
