K2

K2 is the influential noise music project of Japanese musician Kimihide Kusafuka, not to be confused with the James Ferraro project of the same name. K2's work typically consists of crashing, creaking, and scraping sounds made with pieces of junk metal, usually edited in a jarring, unpredictable style, accompanied by the sounds of various electronics. Kimihide Kusafuka's noise project has been active since 1983. The first period of K2 activity consisted of mail art and music between 1983 to 1986. Cassette works were exchanged between domestic and world-wide mail art/music artists and labels, including Masami Akita (Merzbow), G.X. Jupitter-Larsen (The Haters) and Richard van Dalen (De Fabriek). He didn't actually do any live shows until mid 1995. He stopped all of his musical and mail art activities at the end of 1986, concentrating on his work as a pathologist. Kimihide Kusafuka re-started his musical activity as K2 in early 1993, releasing many old and new cassette works, which consisted of a mix between electronic drone and cut-up noise. He then began to use metal junk for his recordings incorporating MTR, tapes and modulators with cut-up techniques for making wonderful harsh noise. K2 is the king of metal junk noise!

ASTRO

Hiroshi Hasegawa is a founding member of the Japanese psychedlic noise group C.C.C.C. Astro is Hiroshi Hasegawa’s analog/space solo project. Hasegawa began his solo unit Astro with analog synthesizers in 1993 whilst continuing to play in C.C.C.C. Sadly, C.C.C.C. is no more, but Hasegawa has continued with Astro and his numerous collaborations drifting between dreamy spaced out bliss and full on waterfalls of beautiful noise. Astromero is the Hiroshi Hasegawa and Damion Romero collaboration.
