SPECIAL FEATURE

Short act of new play BOOK RIOT
Directed by Claire Devine
Written by Aswani Aswath
Performed by B. Youth Company

Book Riot is set in a post-apocalyptic State where emotions are confined, and speech is not a right but a privilege. Governed by the Black Book, those of an age of malleability are led by the Benefactor to master the art of being a State citizen. Failure to comply may compromise their existence.
Follow them as they challenge the system that structures their lives, dictates their choices and eradicates their souls.

ADAM ADHIYATMA (musician)
http://adamadhiyatma.com/
I am a guitarist, composer and improviser from Singapore. I started in rock and jazz bands – now I am more interested in noise, but those things are always close by.
I am interested in the formal and mystical boundaries of sound. Mystical: phenomenological or experiential rather than supernatural. Some of my favourite music combines clarity and detachment with hallucinatory intensity. I also like to think about voices; multiple voices issuing from the same body, hydras, and the ensuing confusion, and the ensuing ecstasy.
I am a dedicated student of the discipline of musical improvisation, and I see it, at different times, as a form of procedural music, sound meditation, healing, social corrective or catharsis – when it admits to verbal description.
In addition to a half-baritone guitar, I play (in decreasing order of skill) electric bass, synthesizer, alto clarinet, piano, trumpet, and am an enthusiastic if not skilled programmer in several audio languages. I have written and premiered works for chamber ensembles, solo guitar and electronics.
I got a B.A. from New York University. I studied for a time, while I was there, with Richard Carrick, Joe Morris, Jean-Michel Pilc.
I have premiered works by Marilyn Crispell, Adam Mirza, Ingrid Lee, Kevin Robinson, John Niekrasz and Bani Haykal(as well as my own) in venues in New York City, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, and Orlando, Florida.
