From organizing concerts at his club Bears to performing in the cult bands Omoide Hatoba, Rovo and Boredoms, Yamamoto has been a central figure of the internationally acclaimed Osaka rock/noise scene since the late 80's. For his second Tzadik CD, one of Japan's most original and creative guitarists presents his first ever solo recording, an exciting and wide ranging program jumping from prepared electric to lyrical acoustic. Fred Frith, Joseph Spence and Derek Bailey are just a few of the influences Yamamoto touches upon in this intimate and surprising classic of new guitar.
