Palto Flats and Joe Williams (Motion Graphics) are pleased to present an evening celebrating the work of composer Yasuaki Shimizu on Thursday, April 26 at Magick City in Greenpoint, and a belated celebration to the release of our reissue of Shimizu's classic album 'Kakashi.'

The evening will begin with a very rare screening of two films Mr. Shimizu scored, presented for the first time from a digital transfer from laserdisc, titled 'Pace' (1990) and 'Watching People' (1989), directed by Hiroyuki Nakano. The films are fascinating visual / auditory artifacts from a period of deep experimentation, filled with vibrant images and masterfully enriched by Shimizu's soundtrack.

Following the screening, there will be a celebration of Yasuaki Shimizu's music, where we will play selections from his expansive career as a pop, experimental & classical musician, composer, and producer.

We hope you will join us. Limited space so please get there early. Advance tickets available.
