Otomo Yoshihide - 大友良英サウンドトラックス Vol0
Review by Leyre Escalante
Otomo Yoshihide's album, 大友良英サウンドトラックス, is a stunning collection of tracks that showcases the artist's mastery of sound and composition. The album features a diverse range of styles and influences, from avant-garde experimentalism to traditional Japanese music.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Guitar Solo," which features Otomo's signature style of dissonant, angular guitar playing. The track is a tour de force of technical skill and creative expression, and showcases Otomo's ability to create complex and challenging music that is still accessible and engaging.
Another standout track is "Drum Solo," which features a powerful and dynamic performance by Otomo on drums. The track is a masterclass in rhythmic complexity and improvisation, and demonstrates Otomo's ability to create music that is both technically impressive and emotionally resonant.

About Otomo Yoshihide
Otomo Yoshihide (born August 1, 1959 in Yokohama, Japan) is a Japanese experimental musician, turntablist and guitarist. He played in rock bands while at college, but turned to improvisation after discovering free jazz and free improvisation musicians like the guitarist Derek Bailey, the saxophonist Kaoru Abe and guitarist Masayuki Takayanagi (from whom he had lessons). Otomo studied at Tokyo University from 1979 where he took a course on ethnomusicology in which he concentrated on Japanese pop music during World War II and the development of musical instruments during the Chinese Cultural Revolution (samples of instruments and music from this period are found in several of his records). From 1981 Otomo played free improvisation in clubs, performing on guitar and also using tapes and electronics. Otomo began to release records from the end of the 1980s. He has been very prolific, working in a variety of styles and collaborating with a wide range of musicians. For much of the 1990s his main project was Ground Zero, a large group founded in 1990 with an ever-changing lineup. They played music in a variety of styles, perhaps best summed up as noise rock with an experimental edge. Ground Zero was disbanded in 1998. Towards the end of that group's life, Otomo formed Filament with Sachiko M, an outfit which concentrated on music made from sine waves, clicks and hums, and ISO (Otomo Yoshihide, Sachiko M and Yoshimitsu Ichiraku), which played purely electronic improvisations. He also continued to play with other musicians on a variety of projects. At the end of the 1990s he founded Otomo Yoshihide's New Jazz Ensemble, a group that played more traditional jazz (albeit with added sine waves from Sachiko M and noisy passages). In Japan, a more consistent lineup of the group, used the name Otomo Yoshihide's New Jazz Quintet, for several releases. Records released under his own name include Cathode (1999), Anode (2001). Otomo has also released duo albums with early experimental turntablist Christian Marclay ("Moving Parts
