About Me |
|
Yoshio Machida (ASCAP) is a sound & visual artist, Steel Pan / electric Steel Pan player. Born in Japan in 1967. He studied minimal art / music / film extensively under Kuniharu Akiyama, Yoshiaki Touno, Sakumi Hagiwara, Kishio Suga at Tama art university in Tokyo. So far, Machida has participated in art events / music festivals like ISEA2004, Sonar-Tokyo, Europhonics Jazz Festival, Maerz Musik Festival, etc.. He was introduced in a book by David Toop and also has been introduced with the artists like Yoshihide Otomo, Sachiko M, Merzbow, Aki Onda, Haco, Toshimaru Nakamura, minamo, Yannis Kyriakides, Alejandra & Aeron, etc. in some compilation albums (Improvised Music from Japan, Sub Rosa, Unsound, Cubicfabric, etc.). In 2005, "Afterimage" (from CD: Hypernatural 2, Softl Music) had been used as the soundtrack for French TV spot, "Visual". In the 90s, he was involved in international cooperation work in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Through this work, he was inspired by Pan-East Asian sun worship basis, then he had come out with collage painting & field recording work. Now Machida improvises Steel Pan (the same meaning as Steel Drum that was chosen as an instrument can be symbol of light, like Asian Gong) and makes "PHOTOBATIK" (is neither photograph nor photogram, it’s his original art that he expresses delicate beauty using only light, without camera), too. The music includes elements of ambient, experimental, electro-acoustic, noise, electronics, and contemporary music. Machida is also a band member of WALK WITH THE PENGUIN ,a collaborative post-rock with Cinc, a Serbian band and MIIMO ,dub-electronica unit by tatsu(bass) and Norihide Saji (drum). In 2004, Machida founded AMORFON , a music label / a platform for contemporary art event. From this label, he has released his solo albums, unique artists’ works from Eastern Europe that have not been introduced so much and "Kindermusik: Improvised Music by Babies", a unique compilation album consisted of only Babies’ improvisations as expressing concerns about music. He organized "Japan-Macedonia exchange art exhibition" in Japan and Macedonia for the first time for both countries. Machida also writes for magazines, has lectures and has some unique workshops for children through his art activity. 町田良夫 は、美術家--音楽家、スティールパン--エレ トリック・スティールパン奏者です。ASCAP会 員。 多摩美術大学在学中、秋山邦晴、東野芳明、 萩原朔美、菅木志雄に師事、ミニマル・アー ト--音楽--映像を総合的に学びました。 これまで、日本、ヨーロッパ各国のメディア ・アート--音楽祭 (ISEA2004、Sonar Tokyo、Europhonic ジャズ・フェスティバル、Maerz Musikフェスティバル等) に出演、David Toop著書で紹介され、自身のソロアルバムの に、大友良英、Sachiko M、Merzbow、恩田晃、Haco、中村としまる、minamo 、Yannis Kyriakides、Alejandra & Aeron等と共に数枚のコンピレーション・アル ムで紹介されてきました。2005年には楽曲「 アフターイメージ」(CD: Hypernatural 2)が、フランスのTVコマーシャル曲になりま た。 90年代、アジア、アフリカ、ラテン・アメリ で国際協力の仕事に従事。この体験からア アの太陽信仰文化に触発され、光の象徴で る銅鑼をフィーチャーにした音響コラージ やフィールド・レコーディング作品を発表 現在は、スティールパンを即興演奏し、印画 紙を使った独自の絵画、 "PHOTOBATIK" (フォトバティック) も制作。音楽は、実験音楽からワールドのジ ャンルにまでまたがっています。バンドとし て、 WALK WITH THE PENGUIN (ウォーク・ウィズ・ザ・ペンギン) - セルビアのバンド、チンチとのコラボ、ポス トロック - や、 MIIMO (ミーモ) - レ・ピッシュ、宮沢和史のバンドで活躍する tatsu (bass)、つじあやの、いきものがかり等のレコ ーディングに参加、plot.名義でも活動する佐 宜英 (drum)と町田良夫の3人から成るダブ・エレク ロニカ・ユニット - に携わっています。 音楽レーベル--現代美術・音楽イベントのプ ットフォーム、 Amorfon (アモルフォン)を自ら主宰、あまり紹介され いない東欧を含む国内外のユニークなアー ィストをリリース、これまで交流が無かっ 日本とマケドニアの現代美術作家による初 交流展を企画、展覧会--コンサート--ワーク ショップ等を日本、マケドニアの両国で行い ました。アモルフォンのリリースの中で、町 田が音楽の問題提起として企画したCD「キン ームジーク--赤ちゃんの即興音楽」は、5カ --10人の赤ちゃんの即興演奏のみを集めたCD 、世界初の試みです。また、音楽誌への寄 、レクチャー、自身の活動を応用したユニ クな子供向けのワークショップ等、活動は 岐に渡ります。 Yoshio Machida’s MIXI Solo Discography CD & iTUNES Yoshio Machida Naada (amorfon, 2006) - Steel Pan improv. inspired by Indian traditional music - Yoshio Machida infinite flowers (amorfon, 2004) - Hybrid, Steel Pan x Electronics - Yoshio Machida Read a book with steel pan (eclipsis, 2007) - Steel Pan solo, live recording - Yoshio Machida | Hypernatural 3 (Baskaru, 2008) - Ambinet noise based on field recordings - Yoshio Machida | Hypernatural 2 (softl music, 2001) - Ambinet noise based on field recordings - Yoshio Machida | Hypernatural 1 (self release, 1999) - Ambinet noise based on field recordings - Buy at itunes store! * Yoshio Machida | Naada [amorfon006] * Yoshio Machida | Infinite Flowers [amorfon002] * Walk With The Penguin | Steal A Spoon For You [amorfon009] Band Album Miimo Miimo (self-release, 2007) - Dub Electronica by steelpan, bass and drum with electronics - See detail US$10.00- Walk With The Penguin steal a spoon for you (amorfon, 2007) - Serbian x Japanese fizzy post rock - See detail US$12.99- Compilation Album 2007 CD : V.A.
