Created an echo instrument called “analapos” in 1970. Constructed Hinatabokko no kukan (Space in the Sun) in Amino-cho in Kyoto, a town on the standard meridian of Japan, in 1988, where he listened to the sounds of nature for a whole day. He has been invited to major exhibitions and music festivals including documenta 8, Donaueschinger Musiktage, Stadtgalerie Saarbrücken, The British Museum and The Musée Zadkine in Paris.

They build a new sound field where noises and beats that they create keep deconstructing, reconstructing and interacting. [A.N.R.i. Twitter](https://twitter.com/ANRi_info) [A.N.R.i. SoundCloud](https://soundcloud.com/a-n-r-i) denshi Kaimen  An electronic music unit that employs modular synthesizers for its performances, formed by Nobuhiko Nakayama and Hideyuki Fukazawa in 2010. An engineer Hajime Nagai joined in 2011. Explores new musical vocabularies by liberating the dynamic and unrestrained possibility that synthesizers intrinsically have. They perform sometimes solo, sometimes duo, but always improvisation is in their core. They took part in the soundtrack of an animation film Flowers of Evil (2013), which was well received. Keiji Haino
  Born in Ichikawa City, Chiba Prefecture, in 1952. A pioneer in the Japanese avant-garde music scene. Plays the vocals, guitar, drums, percussions, hurdy gurdy and more than 100 instruments including ethnic ones, having established his own style and techniques and rarely employing conventional playing modes. Active since the 1970s, the inspirational words and primitive improvisation in his music that is beyond all the boundaries of rock, psychedelic, noise music, free jazz or free music has been admired by Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth) and a number of listeners around the world.
