All those residing closeby to HK, Foshan, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, Tetragrammaton will play a series of dates in southern China with HK artist Dickson Dee.
To mark the 50th event in the Test Tone series at Tokyo’s SuperDeluxe, Medama Records is releasing 3-disc anthology of live recordings, including a rare outing that matches Tetragrammaton with the legendary Chie Mukai.
Tetragrammaton’s recent double album has been the kind recipient of Album of the Month honours on Julian Cope’s Head Heritage home channel.
Active in the 1960s, Zero Jigen (Zero Dimension) were known for their ‘ritual’ street performances (gishiki), surreal imagery and public nudity. Making use of dada-esque satire, they explored radical themes that expressed urban critique through ritualistic walks through crowded streets and other acts of ‘artistic terrorism’ on the environment.
Revealed in the name change, New Miminokoto has undergone a bit of a transformation, most notably by bringing in labyrinthine blues guitarist Junzo Suzuki as their leading figure. Their new album All About Mimi is now out on PSF records.
After creating an unparalleled body of work under the name Birchville Cat Motel, Campbell Kneale embarks on his first tour of Japan under his new moniker, Our Love Will Destroy the World. Joining the bewhiskered proceedings at SuperDeluxe will be Kikuri (Keiji Haino x Masami Akita), Tetragrammaton (TOMO + Cal Lyall + Nobunaga Ken), Muddy World, L?K?O (DJ) and Onnacodomo (Visuals).
This is an announcement that Tetragrammaton is on the cusp of releasing a new album, Elegy for Native Tongues, a double CD disc set that presents a studio recording with a second disc of live performance.
