Tumo with Tetuzi Akiyama

Tumo

Yuma Takeshita (selfmade electro-bass)

Yuji Ishihara (drums, percussion)

Tumo is an experimental music unit by Yuma Takeshita and Yuji Ishihara, based in Tokyo.
Electronic noise by the extremely modified electric bass guitar “electro-bass” and acoustic blow sounds from drums and percussion create a special ensemble.

Guest: Tetuzi Akiyama (guitar)

Born in Tokyo, April 13, 1964.

Akiyama specializes in creating music with elements of both primitivism and realism by connecting his own aspirations, in a minimal and straightforward way, to the special instrumental qualities of the guitar. Sometimes delicately and sometimes boldly, he controls sound volumes ranging from micro to macro, in an attempt to convert the body into an electronic entity.
