The members of Marginal Consort met in art school in 1970's Japan. They create elaborate instrumental systems from household items and hardware-store treasures.

Once a year, Marginal Consort meets up to perform. They don't rehearse or talk in between these annual consorts. In 2018, they came to Los Angeles for the first time. The performance stretched from 9PM to midnight. In the midst of it, time contracted and dissolved, and nothing changed.
