percussionist

Yamamoto Tatsuhisa (drums and metal) continues to take his inventive percussive work into uncharted territories, combining dynamism, melodicism and polyrhythm, fusing overwhelming volume with delicate technique for a mercurial versatility that is at times awe-inspiring. He has played in a number of high-profile bands (Natsumen, First Meeting) and his improvised work takes him into wide ranging collaborations with artists such as Otomo Yoshihide, dj sniff, Jim O'Rourke, Keiji Haino, Akira Sakata, L?K?O, Gianni Gebbia, Ned Rothenberg, Alan Silva, Yoshio Machida, Kelly Churko and many others.
