Anode

Anode (2001) more music like this

by Otomo Yoshihide

Experimental composer/improvisers have long had a fascination with developing systems that manage to combine the two. For example, a system of rules might be applied which constrains players within certain guidelines where, as long as they don't exceed certain boundaries, they are free to improvise. John Zorn' s game pieces such as Cobra come to ...

Cathode

Cathode (1999) more music like this

by Otomo Yoshihide

With 1999's Cathode, Otomo Yoshihide presents a mix of his experimental material. On the opening and closing tracks, "Modulation #2" and "Modulation #1" respectively, he makes full use of sine waves alongside the sounds of the sho, a traditional Japanese instrument. It should be noted that while some listeners find sine waves refreshing and mind ...

Flutter

Flutter (2001) more music like this

by Otomo Yoshihide's New Jazz Quintet

Produced for John Zorn's label, which is appropriate, as the Japanese noise artist Otomo Yoshahide is frequently cited as the Tokyo avant-garde equivalent to New York's hyperactive composer. While generally miles apart in style, the New Jazz Quintet swings relatively close to the orbit of the '90s avant-garde work of John Zorn, who came full ...

Dreams

Dreams (2002) more music like this

by Otomo Yoshihide's New Jazz Ensemble

Since the disbanding of his 1990s group, Ground Zero, Otomo Yoshihide has made it a life philosophy to keep his fans in a constant state of surprise. After his conversion to ultra-minimalist electronics and his return to jazz (but still a very warped form) with his New Jazz Quintet, he offers Dreams, billed to Otomo Yoshihide's New Jazz Ensemble. ...

Revolutionary Pekinese Opera

Revolutionary Pekinese Opera (1996) more music like this

by Ground Zero/Otomo Yoshihide

The membership of Otomo Yoshihide's Ground Zero increased with each new project, and the core of the band for their third album, Revolutionary Pekinese Opera is still only six members (although there are several guests on various tracks). The bulk of the noise comes from Otomo's turntables, which play a greater role here than on the later GZ ...

Consume Red

Consume Red (1996) more music like this

by Ground Zero

Ground Zero/Project Consume, of which this is the first volume, is an extension of leader Otomo Yoshihide's Sampling Virus project (also documented on his solo effort The Night Before the Death of the Sampling Virus). From the deliberately provocative opening gesture of sampling the Korean sacred musician Kim Suk Chul, Ground Zero slowly ...

Null & Void

Null & Void (1995) more music like this

by Ground Zero

Null & Void opens with sounds akin to a car wreck multiplied, while some layers flow backward and all layers are sped up. Next comes "Null & Void: TV-Q Missile," with an actual song structure complete with screechy chorus and samples -- chamber rock with a prog saxophone solo edge. Null & Void is a release of textured sound that ranges from ...

Episome

Episome (2006) more music like this

by Otomo Yoshihide/Bill Laswell/Yoshida Tatsuya

Otomo Yoshihide is largely known for his innovative works in the avant-garde electronic music world as well as his collaborations on drone pieces, creative methods on the turntables, and forays into experimental jazz. However, this five-song session throws most of that reputation out the window and finds Yoshihide collaborating with drummer ...

Japanese Avant-Garde

Japanese Avant-Garde (2002) more music like this

by Various Artists

Amidst the many compilation albums on Japanese experimental music, this CD is surely another kind of creature. First, the project stemmed from an event related to another medium. In March 2002, the Brussels Festival of Fantasy Film brought to Belgium Takashi Miike and Shinya Tsukamoto, two experimental filmmakers. Their works and the discussions ...

Moving Parts (2000) more music like this

by Christian Marclay & Otomo Yoshihide

Tails Out (2004) more music like this

by Otomo Yoshihide's New Jazz Quintet

Tails Out is another stunning release from Otomo Yoshihide's New Jazz Quintet, and further integrates his love of fiery jazz and the Onkyo scene, which "puts much more importance on sound texture than on musical structure" (according to good folks at www.japanimprov.com). The album starts with a wonderful reading of Charlie Haden's "Song for Che ...

Pilgrimage (1999) more music like this

by MicroCosmos and Otomo Yoshihide

MicroCosmos is the duo of Japanese vocalist Tenko and experimentalist Otomo Yoshihide, who performs on guitar, mixer, and drum machine for this recording.

This compilation celebrates and recaps ten years of releases on the Extreme label with one track each from ten Extreme artists; the first pressing of Untitled (ten) also includes Untitled (mix), a bonus disc of mixes by Social Interiors (Rik Rue, Shane Fahey and Julian Knowles) which do not appear to be related to the ten tracks on the primary ...

PantyChrist (1999) more music like this

by Bob Ostertag/Otomo Yoshihide/Justin Bond

PantyChrist is a dense mixture of samples, sounds, and rhythms. The instrumentation is only voice, sampler, turntables, and guitar. The trio behind this small arsenal is San Francisco's sampler Bob Ostertag (John Zorn, Fred Frith, Lynn Breedlove, etc.), Tokyo noise DJ Otomo Yoshihide (Yamatsuka Eye, Boredoms, Ground Zero, etc.), and New York drag ...
