Junko’s screaming vocal in a nuanced, piercing duo with Urabe’s fuming and convulsive saxophone, far removed from the codes of musical tradition.
Laser beam sine tones used to draw delicate, abstract patterns by vibrating charcoal, placed atop of a great strip of paper running through the gallery; beautiful, fragile sound-created autonomous drawing.
A guitar solo of frugal wringing, of notes in the dark, an attitude of making everything count.
Journalist and underground music champion Alan Cummings talks to Keiji Haino about his career and his performance the previous evening.
