About Me |
|
| Welcome! I am a professional shakuhachi maker/performer, performance artist, member of La MaMa E.T.C.’s Great Jones Repertory Group and co-founder of the Slant Performance Group in New York City. I have been in movies, both behind the scenes as a composer and and in front of the camera as an actor. If you look hard, you can catch me as an acid trip Balinese dancer on the Guiding Light soap opera, or, hear my Chinese voice on Jim Jarmusch’s Dead Man. Although I love working in film, being on stage in a downtown New York City experimental theater show or dance is the best. These days, I’m in Northampton MA until my wife finishes grad school in 2008. Now with two small children, everyday is like an improvised moment performance - kinda risky but exciting. I love it! Looking forward to meeting people here.Namaste, Perry

My Interests |

Music:Member Since: 11/27/2007Band Website: yungflutes.com Band Members: BFA in Painting and Printmaking from San Francisco State University, guitarist for Alt Rock band Fibulator, apprenticed shakuhachi making under Kinya Sogawa in Saitama Japan. (Kinya sensei was an uchi deshi, live-in apprentice with Chikusen Tamai, who also apprenticed Tom Deaver, Yamaguchi Shugetsu and Hoshi Bonchiku among others). These days, I enjoy making all styles of shakuhachi, from all natural nobekan Hocchiku bamboo flutes for zen or meditative playing to the two-piece Jiari modern instrument for professional musicians, shakuhachi teacher's and their students. I studied both shakuhachi making and the Dokyoku style of zen Honkyou music under Kinya (through Katsuya Yokoyama, Watazumi). Other music styles and teachers include Keisuki Zenyogi (Miean, Honkyoku), Brian Tairaku Rithchie (Jin Nyodo kinko, Jim schlefer, Ronnie Seldin), contemporary techniques from Akikazu Nakmura (Berkeley, Katsuya Yokoyama), Christopher Yohmei Blasdel (Kinko, Goro Yamaguchi) and mostly with Ralph Samuelson (Kinko, Yamato Shudo). Yukio Tsuji and Genjio ito have been enormously influential as new music composers who use the shakuhachi in their work on stage and film. MySpace Codes Influences: My family, Jimi Hendrix, Ellen Stewart, the Great Jones Repertory Group, Bruce Lee, Kinya Sogawa, Yukio tsuji, Genji Ito, Andre Serban, Elizabeth Strados, Fred Ho, Kazuo and Yoshito Ohno, the international shakuhachi community, African American culture, Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso, Ping Chong, Pan Asian Rep, Fred Korematsu, Brian Taiku Ritchie, Paulo Coelho Al Gore and everyone who acts upon making the world a better place. Sounds Like: Kenny G tea party with Watazumi and Jimi Hendrix Record Label: unsigned Type of Label: None |
