DUSTIN WONG & TAKAKO MINEKAWA

In the Summer of 2011 Takako went to go see Dustin’s show in Tokyo. Dustin was already a fan of Takako’s music from the past and after that meeting they began to correspond. They found many similar interests in music, the universe and mythology. When Dustin returned to Japan they began to experiment with loose musical improvisations in a rent by the hour rehearsal studio. This led to a natural collaboration. They also collaborate visually on album covers and music videos.

They Live (Masahiko Okura / Unami Taku)
Masahiko Okura
Born in Tokyo in 1966. Okura began his performing career when he joined Dub Sonic Warrior in 1994. From the beginning he explored free improvisation with a variety of players. In ’97 he formed (and became the leader of) the band gnu, which released 5 albums by 2010. Okura was a member of Otomo Yoshihide’s ONJO from 2005 to 2009. Since 2006, along with Taku Sugimoto and Taku Unami, he has organized the Chamber Music Concert series as a forum for introducing compositional works. In 2010 he launched the black metal band Totas Causas de Malignitat with Taku Unami, Ko Ishikawa, Masahiro Uemura, Yui, and Junko.

Taku Unami

“Taku Unami was born in Tokyo, Japan, in 1976. He is a composer and improviser working with assorted stringed instruments, including the guitar, mandolin, and contraguitar, laptop and vibrating objects (from which he amplifies the inaudible vibrations). Despite being linked to minimal improvisation his music is hardly classifiable, being able to surprise listeners on every new release, raising unforeseen questions and forging new paths for improvisation. He is part of the group HOSE and has active collaborations with Mattin, Taku Sugimoto and Masahiko Okura. In the past he has worked with Radu Malfatti, Jean-Luc Guionnet, Klaus Filip, Masafumi Ezaki, Burkhard Stangl, Rhodri Davies and Keith Rowe, among others. Unami has also composed for film, including ‘Lost My Way’ (directed by Takeshi Furusawa) and ‘In 1,000,000 years’ (directed by Isao Okishima). He has released more than 30 records, both solo and in numerous groups and collaborations. He runs the influential label Hibari Music and co-organizes the Tokyo concert series Chamber Music Concerts with Taku Sugimoto and Masahiko Okura.” -Jon Abbey
