Non-Event + RPM festival present a special evening of experimental music & film, featuring a live performance by percussionist JON MUELLER of his collaborative work with visual artist Tom Lecky, All Colors Present, and a special screening of short films by the late filmmaker TOMONARI NISHIKAWA, honoring Nishikawa’s unique artistic vision and enduring impact.
About the artists
JON MUELLER’s singular performance idiom is an awe-inspiring display of elegant athleticism, preternatural focus, brute restraint, and ecstatic, monastic reverie. Paired with Tom Lecky's photographs, it becomes a deliberate focus on form, shape and detail. It requires and demands a state of inner quietude from witnesses. Yet, from this seemingly metronomic exercise blossoms every possible tint and hue of infinite spectral sound.
TOM LECKY has worked in photography, music (as Hallock Hill), the book arts, prose and poetry writing, and literary criticism. His creative work concentrates on memory, place, and environment, the work of the imagination, perception, and the intersections of abstraction and representation. He often interweaves appropriated texts and images with his own, evoking a conversation with the history of book design and illustration.
Born in Nagoya, Japan, TOMONARI NISHIKAWA moved to the United States in 1999 to study filmmaking at Binghamton University, later earning his MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute. He passed away in April 2025, leaving behind a remarkable legacy as a filmmaker, educator, and cherished member of the experimental film community. A regular contributor to RPM Festival, Nishikawa’s work was featured in the 2019, 2022, and 2024 editions. His incredible expanded cinema performance Six Seventy-Two Variations, was presented in March 2023 by Non-Event in collaboration with Revolutions per Minute.
At the time of his passing, he was a deeply respected professor in the Cinema Department at Binghamton University.
