| Founded as a record company in 1998, SONORE also became an artistic agency in 2008 at the same time as celebrating its 10th anniversary. Booking, providing management, music sales and publishing, SONORE has discovered so much talent in Japan that it has had to develop and broaden its activities to keep pace.
With 28 disks out to date (current releases: Akane Hosaka and applehead), an authoritative work on Japanese music (Japanese Independent Music, 2001), contributions to films and documentaries (Body Modification Freaks, 2008) and numerous European bookings (Maywa Denki at the Les Bains Numériques festival at Enghien-les-bains on 6 June 2008 or Doravideo at the Universal Exhibition in Zaragossa, 16-17 August 2008), the Nîmes Biennial, the Japanese Experience (LEX 2009), organised together with the Theatre of Nîmes must be one of SONORE’s major achievements so far.
LEX 2009 will present all the thrill of contemporary Japanese creativity, bringing 18 music, dance and performance projects to Nîmes from 24 to 28 March 2009 (YMCK, Baby-Q, ASA-CHANG & Junray).
