Hypnotising Japanese beats. The quartet Goat from Osaka, Japan, is an exceptional acquaintance to make. Their music can be described as a mix of rock and minimalism with shades of jazz and electronic music. In their unique rhythmic compositions, the melodic element has been toned down in order to strengthen the beat and the band regularly employs harmonies beyond the standard 12 pitches. The four musicians exude skill and technical know-how, and the band appears as a functional unit that can breathe swing into complex material. The four-year-old band has released two albums: the debut New Games in 2013 and the follow-up Rhythm & Sound, the title of which aptly describes the band's approach to music. Goat has recently undergone a bit of a transition and now looks increasingly towards exploring rhythms, which has resulted in kaleidoscopic tunes with repetitive beats woven in. Look forward to a special show with some of the finest Japanese jazz and experimental rock. The concert is part of the daylong music event Japan Now! as part of this year's Aarhus Jazz Festival. With the mini festival Japan Now!, Aarhus Jazz Festival moves into the new venue Hotel Carmen in order to celebrate Aarhus as European Culture Capital and the 150th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Denmark and Japan. On this day, Hotel Carmel will also host concerts by Makiko Hirabyashi Trio, Noritaka Tanaka / Daysuke Takaoka / Julie Kjær and Turtle Yama.

We would like to thank EU Japan Fest, Toyota-Fonden and Augustinus Fonden for their support for Japan Now! ”With support from DJBFA – Composer and Songwriters Production Pool and Kodas Cultural Funds”.
