das land der…
…aufgehenden sonne, soll ja eigentlich japan sein, aber heute vormittag hab ich beobachtet, dass auch bei uns die sonne aufgeht…vielleicht ist dies schon ein vorbote zum ‘japanese new music festival 2008‘ am 6.5. in der fluc wanne.
und weil ich faul bin und ich sowieso nichts vom line-up kenne und der donaufestival-text recht informativ ist…kopier ich mal wieder einfach rein!
Together on one stage, for one night only, are seven of the most innovative acts from Japan’s vibrant new music scene.
ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE
Acclaimed as the greatest, most extreme trip-psychedelic band in the world, AMT’s crushingly acute freakout sound is guaranteed to pulverize.
RUINS (alone)
One of the most innovative composers in Japan, Yoshida Tatsuya is renowned as the founder of the unclassifiable bass and drum duo RUINS. Here Yoshida performs the music of RUINS solo (?!!) in an unforgettable set of rapid fire, hardcore progressive rock, sung in a language of his own invention.
ZOFFY
The band hints at the members’ interests in troubadour and classic rock, but in the end, they sound like nothing but ZOFFY.
TSUYAMA ATSUSHI (solo performance)
Tsuyama has accumulated traditional musics from around the world and dismantled them. Now, through his interpretation, he creates a beautiful, unclassifiable, “new” traditional music.
AKATEN
Using commodities like scissors, toothbrushes, zippers, cameras, and plastic bottles as their instruments of choice, AKATEN is the experimental convenience store
punk band that provides the sound images of a cheap and simple daily life.
KAWABATA MAKOTO (solo performance)
Best known for his noise-fuzz guitar in Acid Mothers Temple, here he draws upon a huge reservoir of original techniques that cannot cannot be simply categorized as minimal, drone or experimental.
ZUBI ZUVA X
Japan’s premier eccentric poly-rhythmic a cappella ensemble covers everything from Gregorian chants to ethnic music, do-wop to hardcore screaming.
