TATSUYA NAKATANI ナカタニ • タツヤ b.1970, Japan Tatsuya
Nakatani is an avant-garde sound artist, composer, and master
percussionist. Active internationally since the 1990’s; Nakatani has
released over 80 recordings and tours extensively, performing over 150
concerts a year. His primary focus is his solo work and his large
ensemble project, the Nakatani Gong Orchestra. With his activity in
the new music, improvisation and experimental music scenes, Nakatani
has a long history of collaboration. He teaches master classes and
lectures at universities and music conservatories around the world.
Originally from Japan, he makes his home in the small desert town of
Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. Nakatani creates his distinctive
music centered around his adapted bowed gong, supported by an array of
drums, cymbals, and singing bowls. In consort with his hand carved
Kobo Bows, it is an instrument he has spent decades developing. A
master of extended percussion techniques, it can be difficult to
understand the genesis of his sounds. Nakatani approaches his
orchestral project (NGO) as an arrangement of formations of
vibrations, incorporated in shimmering layers of silence and texture.
Within this contemporary work, one can still recognize the dramatic
pacing, formal elegance and space (ma) felt in traditional Japanese
music.
