TODAY!
Monday January 12th 2009
It's very last second, but amazing percussion improviser Tatsuya Nakatani will be making an in-store appearance this Monday at Stormy Records in Dearborn (13210 Michigan Ave, above Green Brain Comics).
Music will start at 6:30 pm.
Tatsuya is a one-man sound-scape. Don't expect percussion as you would normally hear it: he manipulates his instruments with extended techniques that are almost beyond belief. This set will feature a new gong, which Tatsuya describes as "very big."
If a gong solo doesn't sound exciting, you haven't heard this Jimi Hendrix of the gong yet. Or is he the Lamont Young of the gong? Either way, he plays amazing minamilst melodies with all those overtones.
This show is free, so there's no way you should miss it. Donations for Tatsuya's travel expenses are appreciated though. Come check-out one the most interesting soloists on any instrument.
