EYヨ

Tetsurō Yamatsuka, also known as Yamantaka Eye, Yamatsuka Eye, eYe etc... is hands down one of my favorite musicians, i've not heard a project by him that i haven't liked, starting with the notorious Hanatarash [one of the most extreme & influential Noise acts EVER] & going through all forms of Experimentalism in acts such as Noise Ramones, Puzzle Punks, MC Hellshit & DJ Carhouse, Nani Nani [with John Zorn] & Destroy 2, not to mention all the even smaller side projects with Sonic Youth or his Turntablism madness under DJ Pica Pica Pica & DJ Chaos X and his most renown role as the percussionist/singer/trickster of Psych-Rock group Boredoms, to say he's eclectic is an understatement. Tetsurō has always abide by a Punk aesthetic no matter what project he's in & his stance on making music is a very childish one, making sounds from anything at hand/using instruments in non conventional manners and using unconventional things AS instruments. This is a rare 2 part video interview showing how he does what he does... it's in Japanese, but you really don't need to understand to enjoy it.
