This podcast features a live set by Yuko Nexus6 in her Boston debut. It was first broadcast on August 24, 2006 on WZBC. Rare Frequency Podcast (Special Ed. 06): Yuko Nexus6 Live 08.24.06 Yuko Nexus 6 is a sound artist based in Hikone, Japan. Using a mixture of field recordings, cut-up samples, digital processing, and her own voice, Yuko creates beguiling, often slyly humorous, always wonderfully idiosyncratic sonic collages and compositions. Conscious of the unspectacular dryness of an artist in front of her computer, in performance she is constantly inventing and adding little elements like grains of sand that derail her music towards something alive and astute. She received an honorary mention in Europe's Prix Ars Electronic competition in 2003.
