| october 2008 release ; great set of caustic, noisy electro-acoustic improv by this contemporary ensemble, led by takayanagi student / taj mahal travellers & marginal consort member kazuo imai ...
... a bizarre guitar / optron / electronics power trio consisting of imai, ito atsuhiro, and suzuki manabu, the three go to town on a set of standards culled from the peacock, monk, konitz, & porter songbooks ; the heads played in a barely-recognizable manner before peals of gnarly electronic hysteresis & scrabbly guitar chonk are channeled-in (listen to the sound-sample) ...
deluxe edition comes with the studio recording as a cd & a bonus dvd offering a static in-studio shot (see below) of the action as it unfolds (the optron has as much to do with its visual appeal as the sounds it emits) all inside a japanese mini-lp gatefold sleeve. highly recommended !!! |

imai kazuo guitar,
ito atsuhiro optron
suzuki manabu electronics
this trio was formed by imai kazuo (guitar), suzuki manabu (handmade electronics), and ito atsuhiro (optron) in july, 2005. i'm using a controllable instrument along with uncontrollable electronic sound devices that may make the music somewhat difficult to remain stable, yet its context of where i am now is the one that is similar to jazz.
imai kazuo, from linernotes |
imai kazuo is the one and only graduate of takayanagi masayuki's private guitar school. he played with kosugi takehisa's "taj mahal travellers" or takayanagi's "new direction", and what's more, he played with lee konitz, arther doyle, irene schweizer, barre phillips, and so on. he also organize "marginal consort" and "imai kazuo trio" recently.
ito atsuhiro plays optron. he use a handmade fluorescent light as a instrument. he named it "optron". optron strike the intense noise. he control it as feedback noise or low frequency. he was also a owner of the legendary art space called off-site. off-site familiarized "onkyo" music as otomo yoshihide, sachiko-m, sugimoto taku, nakamura toshimaru, and so on.
suzuki manabu is actually a engineer of electronic instrument for artists but recently he plays his own handmade electronics. his handmade instrument is very interesting and exciting. the sound is strange and hypnotic, not any old noise, it's his style. he collaborate with various artist, musician and dancer.
