Ground Zero (band)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ground Zero was an improvised experimental noise rock band during the 1990s led by Otomo Yoshihide that had a large and rotating group of performers on such instruments as turntables, sampler, shamisen, saxophone, koto, omnichord, electric guitar and two drum kits. They are most highly regarded for their album Consume Red, on which the performers improvise around a short sample of hojok music played by Korean holy musician Kim Seok Chul.

Ground Zero's last project was in 1998 when they re-worked material from a 1992 Cassiber concert in Tokyo. It was released on the second CD of Cassiber's double CD, Live in Tokyo (1998).
