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

A dense materialist experience at the limits of contemporary computer music, drawing on Korean Shamanism and Communism; striving to create a strange new vibration to the world that seems to contain the seed of everything.
