ANOYONODEKIGOTO
"Anoyo
No Dekigoto" LP |
Recordings for and from the performance unit Anoyo No Dekigoto, Ikuro Takahashi (sonics) with Yoko Muronoi (dance) Ikuro Takahashi
has a lengthy history in the Japanese rock underground, dating back
to his involvement with Seishokki and no-wavers Akebonoizu during
the late seventies and early eighties. Since then he has been the
drummer of choice for virtually everyone whos anyone on the
scene. High Rise, Fushitsusha, Tamio Shiraishi, Kousokuya, Ché-SHIZU,
Maher Shalal Hash Baz, and Nagisa Ni Te amongst others have all benefited
from his propulsive, dynamic mastery of space. Solo, duo and more
expansive projects under a variety of names including Aura Nihilitica,
Lamones Young, and Of Dogstarman have revealed a hitherto unsuspected
facility for environment-altering improvised drone and electronic
drift. Muronoi too has a long CV of experimental dance work behind
her, ranging from solo butoh pieces to multi-media collaborations
with visual artists, filmmakers and musicians. Alan Cummings. |
