Toshimaru Nakamura

Toshimaru Nakamura

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." [http://www.shef.ac.uk/~ps/efi/labels/erstwhil/erst013.html]

Nakamura's music has been described as "sounds ranging from piercing high tones and shimmering whistles to galumphing, crackle-spattered bass patterns." [http://www.furious.com/perfect/toshimarunakamura.html]

Nakamura has recorded solo albums, and has collaborated with Yoshihide Otomo, Keith Rowe, John Butcher, and Nicholas Bussmann among others.
