Toshimaru Nakamura
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Toshimaru Nakamura is a Japanese musician, active in free improvisation and Japanese onkyo.
He began his career playing rock and roll guitar, but gradually explored other types of music, even abandoning guitar. He uses a mixing console as a live, interactive musical instrument: "Nakamura plays the 'no-input mixing board', connecting the input of the board to the output, then manipulating the resultant audio feedback." [1]
Nakamura's music has been described as "sounds ranging from piercing high tones and shimmering whistles to galumphing, crackle-spattered bass patterns." [2]
Nakamura has recorded solo albums, and has collaborated with Yoshihide Otomo, Keith Rowe, and Nicholas Bussmann among others.
