A very welcome return of the drums and daxophone duo!
Firstly – what’s a daxophone? It consists of “bowed bits of wood in various shapes
which create an amazing range of sounds, including the cry of a wounded
elephant and the final gurgles of a opera contralto as she is swallowed by a loon with digestive disorders.” – Eugene Chadbourne.
A pioneering Japanese guitarist and daxophone player, Kazuhisa Uchihashi’s entry into noise music was as a member of Yoshigaki Yasuhiro’s rip-roaring First Edition band – “responsible for sending many a drunken Japanese businessman staggering into the streets with his hands over his ears”, according to Eugene Chadbourne. He then formed Altered States in 1990 and was a member of Otomo Yoshihide’s Ground Zero. He has since guested on many records, such as with composer Zeena Parkins, and including his long-standing duo with Roger Turner.
Roger Turner has been working as an improvising percussionist since the early 1970s, playing both solo and in collaboration with musicians such as Annette Peacock, Phil Minton, Cecil Taylor, Masahiko Satoh, Charles Gayle, Lol Coxhill, Derek Bailey, Otomo Yoshihide, Toshinori Kondo and Axel Dorner. He has toured and played concerts worldwide from Sydney to the Arctic, Tokyo to Belfast, New York to Beirut.
