“The Making of Harbor" – An interview with Kris and Minh of Arugakki

In January of 2021, Arugakki  debuted Harbor, an ambitious stage piece for percussion, piano, electronic instruments, and contemporary dance, and the result of a pandemic-era artist-in-residency that morphed into an eight-month quarantine in a theater. Courtney Ozaki facilitates a personal and candid discussion with the creators to tease out theory, inspiration, and practical tips for creation. From the artists: "We don't want to be the kind of artists who blab about themselves. We promise to get straight to the good stuff... the art, and why composition is so freaking hard for us."
