Bar Laika presents Satellite 23: Miho Hatori and Paul Wilson Bae

Join us at Bar Laika for the 23rd edition of Satellite, featuring live music performances by Miho Hatori and Paul Wilson Bae. Hatori and Wilson Bae will lead a night of improvisation on voice, electronics, and keys. The two have been collaborating for the past seven years, where Wilson Bae has been part of Hatori’s band. For their Satellite performance, they will be improvising as a duo, and we might also hear some music from Hatori’s latest album, Between Isekai and Slice of Life (2021).
