This just in... PROCTOLOGY OF A HURRICANE. These musings, unmastered yet totally listenable, feature musicians BRYAN DAY, MARINA HARDY and JOSEPH JAROS (of SHELF LIFE) creating raw insubordinate scraping resonating percussive analogue synthesized soundscapes, while DAVID MOSCOVICH reads tales of the narrator's poly-lingual, rum and haldol-induced incarceration from the novel Castro's Weatherman: Ethnography of a Bumbling Sex Tourist

It's midnight in Havana, and I have been walking for hours, trying to find someone, perhaps a couple who would want this paper bag full of condoms...

Originally from Osaka, Japan, Tatsuya Nakatani is a world-renowned, contemporary percussionist who has created his own approach to sound and instrumentation, effectively inventing many instruments and extended techniques. His music is based in improvised/ experimental music, jazz, free jazz, rock, and noise, yet retains the sense of space and beauty found in traditional Japanese folk music. He utilizes drumset, bowed gongs, cymbals, singing bowls, metal objects, bells, and various sticks and bows to create an intense, organic music that defies category or genre.
