Keiji Haino
Keiji Haino, born in Chiba in 1952 and long resident in Tokyo, is a musician whose work has passed through rock, free improvisation, noise, singer-songwriter forms, solo percussion, psychedelia, minimalism and drone, always in a black-clad, white-haired silhouette that is unmistakable on stage. He was shaped early by Antonin Artaud and by the blues, and treats every performance as a rite.

Hikari yami uchitokeaishi kono hibiki
First album of solo guitar by Keiji Haino in quite some time, but very much a departure from the mountain-levelling, continent-sundering, weather-system huge electric guitar releases of years past. The title roughly translates as 'Light darkness melt…
To start with, let’s remove the colour !
Gorgeous new bag of home-recorded mystery from Haino. Apparently recorded alone, late at night and at minimal volume, these latest recordings tremble with the same deep-welled emotional sensitivity and sense of veiled threat that animated classics li…
