_______________________________________ poem from 2010_

i just got bunny rabbits and named one of them keiji after keiji haino (he has a silly haircut too, my bunny).

what a tribute!!

doing this: listening only haino related music for 36 hours.
highly recommended.

the only difficulty and hardly i can call it that, is in the morning and/or when i 'd like to check out music, people are sharing. but really it's not much of an issue. so i havent cheated and looks like i wont.
in 4 days i completed 24,5 hours of listening.
its amazing and dont want it to end. i ll see what i ll do.
it has helped me with work, so i havent done this much: wanted to be more focused sketching and writing at the same time in that little notebook i dedicated to this experience.

might continue these sort of marathons. should do the merzbox as well! dunno if i have it though /mp3s of it that is.


last but not least, would like to thank again all of you posting the lives in the other thread.
stuff i hadn't listened to yet. awesome.

Keiji Haino on Derek Bailey:

"My greatest happiness comes when I experience rock from a new source. Derek Bailey once gave me such happiness. It was in London, when we were recording a radio show in the BBC studios, him on guitar and me on vocals. I made one request to him before we started - rather than one long track, I wanted us to divide the time into shorter segments. It was between these segments that I felt the vibrations of happiness. I was standing in front of the mic, a little behind Mr Bailey so I could see his back. Just before he started playing I could see him shake his shoulders slightly, marking out a rhythm. Involuntarily, my heart shouted out, 'Rock exists here, even here!' This happened several times during the set.
Someone once told me that when Mr Bailey was asked what he thought about me in an interview, he replied, 'He's just as strange as I am'. I took great pride in that. I dedicate these next words as my own prayer for the repose of his soul:
That, which while enfolding this now and present perfume, speaks, 'I will use to the fullest this form bestowed upon me' and blurs into the firmament - ah, where and in what form will it next be devised. "

Wow, I hope the second one will find its way to the rest of the world fast!

WOW

This one's now out in Europe also: https://anost.net/Products/Keiji-Hai...ve-Been-Given/ ... yes! It's also available on iTunes, I noticed.

ahhh fantastic thanks so much for that, ordered! I don't want to drink tea so tasteless that even the intent to kill will not come to mind while drinking is maybe the best haino title I've ever heard, no joke.

He's also doing a solo acoustic set next Monday at OTO project space and on Tuesday September 1st he will be at cafe OTO with Russell Haswell...

Noooo! It's sold out!

There might be a second date added at Ace Hotel on Sunday but it's not confirmed yet... Watch this space!

Thanks for the heads up! How come you've got all the secret Keiji Haino knowledge?!!!!
How big is the Ace Hotel anyway? I'd kind of assumed it to be a swanky place because it's in Shoreditch.

No worries, I can't divulge my source but tickets are on sale now for Sunday!

Not sure of the capacity.

The show on Sunday has now been cancelled but I've been told they will honour the ticket for the sold out Saturday show...

some new releases:


w/ o'rourke & ambarchi - "I wonder if you noticed ”I’m sorry” Is such a lovely sound It keeps things from getting worse"

presser:
The remarkable series of releases from the trio of Keiji Haino, Jim O'Rourke, and Oren Ambarchi continues with I wonder if you noticed "I'm sorry" Is such a lovely sound It keeps things from getting worse, which presents the entirety of an 80-minute set performed at Tokyo's SuperDeluxe in March 2014. While the trio's 2012 performance was divided into two releases (BT 011LP (2014) and BT 012LP (2015)), the single extended performance presented here ranges widely over terrain both new and familiar, from acoustic strings and collective chants to thunderous power trio moves. Throughout all of its transformations, the music here is some of the riskiest and most abstract the trio have yet committed to record. Beginning with chiming percussion reminiscent of Haino's 1995 classic Tenshi No Gijinka, the first side is dominated by Haino's impassioned vocals and performance on the bulgari, a traditional Turkish string instrument. The end of the second side presents a special treat: Haino's first recorded outing on the contrabass harmonica, from which he coaxes bizarre, wheezing textures against a backdrop of spacious bass and percussion. O'Rourke and Ambarchi rarely adopt here the classic rock roles essayed on earlier releases. O'Rourke's bass, which takes center-stage surprisingly often, is sometimes so heavily processed by his array of pedals that it becomes a shifting electronic mass; at other times his roving chromaticism suggests a sort of fuzzed-out free jazz. Ambarchi spends much of the set exploring areas of tumbling free pulse; and even when he locks into a constantly repeated figure on the set's third side, he gestures as much toward Ronald Shannon Jackson's stuttering marching band funk as toward any classic rock moves. When the trio finally moves in the final quarter of the performance into an extended passage of rock riffing, the payoff is immense, as they craft a thudding one-chord epic reminiscent of some of the early Fushitsusha classics before Haino returns to the bulgari, bringing the set back to where it began. Continuing to explore new instrumental and dynamic possibilities while remaining grounded in the trio's previous work, this set also brings with it a unique pleasure for the non-Japonophone listener: for the first time Haino sings many of his metaphysically brooding lyrics in English.

also anyone know of a place where I can see any upcoming shows haino might be playing in japan? going for 6 weeks in a month and would shoot myself if I missed him (would be the fourth time seeing him in a year but in japan would be something else).

Japan: July 3rd and August 3rd

London:

Copeland Gallery, July 8th

http://www.seetickets.com/event/keij...gallery/991678

Cafe OTO, July 9th

https://www.cafeoto.co.uk/events/kei...-john-butcher/

hopefully some are attending and taping?

cheers for that stu, very much looking forward to sanhedorin! caught haino last night in koenji with his new band the hardy rocks, was a fucking melter. they're a cover band, played the walker brothers, zeppelin, steppenwolf, nina simone (haino does a great strange fruit!!!) and a few more I'm forgetting in this thunderous noise rock style, haino only on vocals directing the rest of the band and flailing around the stage. the adaptability of this man is astounding, he's truly the greatest.

^^wowza

sanhedorin gig was sweet, a lot of interplay between miya (the flutist) doing these dense trills and arps in response to haino playing angular, bailey-style blues before he and yoshida would start going at each other to create these enormous walls of noise a la fushitsusha before collapsing into dense yet malleable funk. over the course of 2.5 hours......

https://www.cafeoto.co.uk/shop/keiji-haino-steve-noble/

While Haino theatrically sweeps between bleak and uninhibited paranoia, deep-level zoning and bluesy contemplation, Noble's huge set up and graceful approach brings space, light and shade - so much so that at one point Haino unplugs his guitar and picks up a small wooden flute. Dynamic, dramatic and surprisingly uplifting.

How was the show with John Butcher? I was on a stag do and was gutted to miss it. What did Haino play?

Thanks for the heads up, Stu......pre-ordered my copy this morning.
