Sangatsu ¿Music?

Formed in Tokyo in 1997, Sangatsu made its debut with a self-titled album produced by Jim O’Rourke. It aspires to create broadly sound-based expression that goes beyond the conventional boundaries of music. It collaborates regularly with other artists in theatre, dance, film, and more. Engaging in projects that present rules (platforms) and systems for making sound as artworks, and waiving the copyright on the five years of work it produced after 2012, the band’s activities focused on the relationship between music tracks and listeners have garnered much attention.
It has recently turn to the power that places of play have, creating music in the manner of making new forms of play in a plaza. The group has performed overseas in many cities including Berlin, Beijing, and Seoul. It rehearses without fail every Sunday.
Members: Atsuhiro Koizumi (guitar), Sotaro Kojima (guitar), Hiroki Chiba (bass guitar), Ichiro Shukuya (drums), Hiroki Togashi (drums), Yuji Tanaka (drums)
