MODE May 30th - Beatrice Dillon / Lucy Railton / YPY

33-33 and BLISS bring back MODE, the global events series celebrating extraordinary music and arts. Originally presented in London, 2023’s edition – the first since 2019 – ventures to Tokyo, celebrating a diverse mix of music and performance from around the world. Conceived by 33-33 in 2019, MODE is now a joint undertaking by 33-33 and BLISS.

The series builds on a longstanding collaboration with Japanese arts and music. The inaugural MODE, presented in 2018, was curated by Ryuichi Sakamoto – the pioneering composer who sadly passed away in March, and to whom this year’s series is now dedicated.

This year, 33-33 collaborate with Japanese curatorial collective BLISS, presenting a number of events across unique venues throughout Tokyo. They bring together a number of unique artists from around the world, creating a hive of international artistic activity in Tokyo over the course of two weeks.

Experimental electronics are the focus on 30 May, as London-based composer and sound artist Beatrice Dillon shares the bill with YPY, the project by Osaka-based multi-instrumentalist and composer Koshiro Hino. British cellist and composer Lucy Railton opens the event, taking place at Tokyo audiophile hub WALL & WALL.
