JAPANESE NEW MUSIC FESTIVAL European Tour 2010
3 musicians (YoshidaTatsuya from Ruins, Tsuyama Atsushi and Kawabata Makoto from Acid Mothers Temple) form 7 units!!
TSUYAMA ATSUSHI solo
Tsuyama is best known for his monster bass in Acid Mothers Temple, but he also has amazing technique of guitar and vocal.
He has travelled around the world and accumulated the traditional styles of guitars/vocals in Europe and Asia.
He adds his own interpretations and lyrical sense to create a beautiful but odd “fake traditional” musical world.
Recently he developed a new figure called “prog.rock > blues-ization plan”.
He dismantles the masterpiece of progressive rock, and restructure it as an impromptu blues.
KAWABATA MAKOTO solo
Kawabata Makoto is best known for his speed-demon noise-fuzz guitar in Acid Mothers Temple, but he is also widely active
as an unparalleled drone guitarist.
Drawing upon a huge reservoir of original techniques including metal glissando and bow-work that can summon up the sound
of a string ensemble or orchestra, his work in this area cannot be simply categorized as minimal, drone or experimental.
You’ll find it hard to believe that a single guitar can create sonic worlds of such meditative and elegant depth.
RUINS ALONE (Yoshida Tatsuya solo)
Yoshida is one of the most innovative drummer/composer/improviser in Japan’s new music scene.
The pioneer of Drum & Bass duo RUINS was founded by Yoshida in ‘85. Tunes are complicated and mysterious, and songs are
sung in the language of their own invention.
It’s high-tension, wild, heavy, speedy, acute, and powerful tremendous ensemble never sounds like they are only two players.
Now RUINS had no bassist and currently he has been playing as RUINS ALONE playing RUINS songs with sampling bass.
ZUBI ZUVA X (Yoshida/Tsuyama/Kawabata)
Eccentric poly-rhythmic a cappella ensemble. It covers from Gregorian chant to ethnic music, to do-wop to hardcore screaming,
heavily using irregular rhythms and polyrhythm.
All sorts of ideas and aberrant musicality overturn the image of a cappella.
Their totally meaningless lyrics and desperate performances throw the audiences into the abyss of the laughter and admiration.
It makes the concept of “singing ability” nonsense.
AKATEN (Tsuyama/Yoshida)
Formed in 1995 with the motto of “irresponsibleness” and “perfunctoriness.”
They easily free themselves from the spell of the traditional seriousness of the art.
Using daily commodities like scissors, toothbrush, zipper, camera, and plastic bottle as percussions, and shouting their brand
names over and over as the “songs,” the show is performed under the concept of low cost and maximum sound effect. AKATEN is
the experimental convenience store punk band that provides the sound images of cheap and simple daily lives.
ZOFFY (Tsuyama/Kawabata)
Formed in 1998. Zoffy’s music hints both at the members’ deep musical knowledge via their improvised performances of troubadour
music and European trad, and also at their deep love for rock via their destructivist covers of classic rock songs, that no
longer sounds like anything but ZOFFY. The group believes that humor is essential in music, and their unprecedented performances
stray far from the beaten track.
Is this the Ultima Thule that rock music has long been aiming for?
ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE SWR (Kawabata/Tsuyama/Yoshida)
Acid Mothers Temple have rapidly become acclaimed as the greatest, the most extreme trip psychedelic group in the world.
Releases have appeared on labels around the world at an amazing pace, and the magnificence of their live performances is already
being whispered of as legendary.
SWR is the AMT Family’s most powerful battle-formation yet.
Featuring Tsuyama and Kawabata from the original AMT and Yoshida from Ruins their crushingly acute freakout sound will pulverize
the world’s legions of wannabe psych groups.
