The Chicago indie music polymath makes his SPACE debut!
Sen Morimoto is a Japanese American singer / multi-instrumentalist and producer based in Chicago. His mix of jazz and hip-hop production, spoken-word rap and pop sensibilities form a super-genre of modern songwriting and experimental grooves.
Sen has spent years collaborating with all scenes in Chicago from rap (Pivot Gang), Pop (KAINA), Jazz (Resavoir), Indie (Lala Lala), etc… He’s a conduit to all the different scenes and it goes beyond making music. He’s a label head (Sooper Records), an Activist (was on the front page of the Chicago Tribune for it in 2020) and is also a part of the poetry and writing scene.
His 2018 debut LP Cannonball! Was co-released by media giant 88Rising and the Chicago indie label that Sen co-owns, Sooper Records. He subsequently released his self-titled 2020 follow up on Sooper Records. Both albums garnered critical acclaim in the USA, Europe, and Japan, and led Sen out onto the road including several tours of the USA, three tours of Japan, and appearances at Festivals including the Boiler Room Jazz Festival (UK), Summersonic (Tokyo), Boro Festa (Kyoto), Head In The Clouds (USA), Treefort Festival (USA) and PDX Jazz Festival (USA).
Red Eft is a loud experimental pop band from Portland, Maine. Some say they’re the wildly creative band leading Portland’s 2020s rock renaissance… but they say they’re simply focused on yelling & singing, bass, drums, guitar, & jumping around.
Bright Boy is the nom de plume of long-time Portland (and now sadly, Boston) resident Said Anwar Cato King. A fixture and true guiding light of the Maine beat music scene, Said’s own music moves through the futurist sounds of contemporary electronic music with a voice that can intone difficult truths poetically and soar with the best of the neo-soul paragons. Said is a member of live G-funk outfit Altered Gee, a collaborator of Jaw Gems, a co-conspirator of the ruby yacht makers guild, and the host of Beat Traffic. Never the self-promoter, Bright Boy’s official debut, Power Absolute finally arrived (after years of quiet self-releases) in fall 2018, courtesy of Atlanta tastemakers Sneer Records.
