Kawabata Makoto
Guitarist and multi-instrumentalist. Leader of the psychedelic rock band Acid Mothers Temple.
While he’s best known for his earsplitting, speed guru guitar heroics with AMT, he’s also the founder of
his own school of ecstatic guitar drone using bowing and glissando techniques.
Kawabata first started releasing works for electronics and homemade instruments in 1978. Since then his
activities have been almost too wideranging to grasp: he has formed multiple units, released a plenitude
of albums on labels all over the world, toured extensively in Europe, the US and Asia.
His collaborations truly span multiple genres. He has played with psychedelic originators like Gong, Guru
Guru, Silver Apples, Nik Turner, Damo Suzuki, Träd Gräs och Stenar, and Geoff Leigh; with avant-garde
giants including Keiji Haino, Tatsuya Yoshida, Charles Hayward, Jean-François Pauvros, Richard Youngs
and Tatsuya Nakatani; and with Occitan trad musicians including Rosina de Peira, Marc Perrone, Andre
Minvielle, and Beatritz.
In 2019 he began to perform and create new works for modular synthesizers, a return to the electronic
music that was the origin point of his musical career. He has also worked as a producer and mixing
engineer for many bands and musicians, including Fursaxa, maquiladora, Hibushibire, and squimaoto.
Tim Dahl is a New York based bassist and vocalist best known for his work with the noise-rock bands
Lydia Lunch Retrovirus and Child Abuse. He also writes and performs for the jazz ensembles Pulverize
the Sound, and GRID. Dahl has also performed and/or recorded with many other notable musicians
including Yusef Lateef, Lydia Lunch, Tyshawn Sorey, Rhys Chatham, Archie Shepp, Eugene
Chadbourne, Tatsuya Yoshida, Mary Halvorson, Peter Evans, Charles Hayward, The Flying
Luttenbachers, Jandek, Kool Keith, Von Lmo
