US percussionist, poet, sound artist and instrument maker performing on self-made instruments constructed from industrial materials such as stainless steel, titanium, PVC plastics and various kinds of pipe.

One of the most arresting and unique improvisers in Japan, creating an original and powerful body of free music.
