about

Legendary Japanese experimentalist Keiji Haino (Fushitsusha) and London's fearless drummer Steve Noble took to the stage at Cafe OTO in 2012 for a monumental concert - with Haino's extreme treatments of electric guitar, and feedback, with Noble on a lot of percussion...

While Haino theatrically sweeps between bleak and uninhibited paranoia, deep-level zoning and bluesy contemplation, Noble's huge set up and graceful approach brings space, light and shade - so much so that at one point Haino unplugs his guitar and picks up a small wooden flute. Dynamic, dramatic and surprisingly uplifting.

"The sounds came across as random explosions, with passages of near-silence abruptly giving way to percussive clatters and sustained guitar roars. Then suddenly, they leaped into full chaotic freak-out mode, with Noble sending his small gongs and bowls flying as he pummelled the skins, unleashing a veritable thunderstorm of raucous sound...

Meanwhile, Haino switched on the fuzz and feedback, his guitar screaming like a beast possessed, with molten solo after molten solo cascading out of the amps. Just as quickly, they'd revert back to contemplative mode, Haino twisting and twitching his strings with the delicate touch of a brain surgeon. The interplay between the two was bewitching..." (Londonears)

The Stone
by PURPLE TRAP (Laswell / Haino / Ali)

supported by 17 fans who also own “Cafe OTO (CSR370CD)”

"Ali as one of the originators stays closest to the traditional image of Free Jazz, while Laswell fluidly moves between smooth stabilizing lines and more experimental or sick distorted sounds. Haino, who also delivers some manic vocals, is all over the place between surprisingly sweet and listenable and - much more frequent - parallel dimension rock star mannerism and other delightful Avantgarde dada." https://derohlsen.blogspot.com/2025/07/purple-trap-stone.html Der Ohlsen
