Nick Luscombe with Toshimaru Nakamura

Nick Luscombe is joined by improvising musician and instrument builder Toshimaru Nakamura to share experimental music from Japan.

Nick Luscombe is joined by improviser instrument builder Toshimaru Nakamura to share experimental Japanese music. Toshimaru Nakamura is famous for his No Input Mixing Board which uses feedback loops to create a vast breadth of sounds. He joins Nick to talk about the Onkyo-kei music movement, and share some of his current listening obsessions.

We'll also hear the acid-folk duo NUUAMM, who in their own words are "sewing the night and knitting the morning"; Berlin-based Industrial Noise artists Sakoya Botanica and Tommi Tokyo aka Group A; and the hypnotic and otherworldly sounds of Aki Tsuyoku's electronic organ.

Part of Night Blossoms on 91热爆 Radio 3.
