Mika Tajima and her band, New Humans, performed in Ballroom Marfa’s outdoor courtyard on the opening night of the exhibition, Every Revolution Is a Roll of the Dice, with band and instruments on a white sand stage on September 22, 2007.

Formed in 2003, New York-based New Humans make collaborative works involving sound, installation, and performance actions. New Humans is a moniker for Mika Tajima‘s projects with other musicians, artists and designers.

New Humans performances and recordings continue a working use of physical materials, piercing drones, sheer static, and low bass frequencies.
