ARTISTS PROFILES
Naked MozartA recently initiated collaboration between Donald the Nut from Three Day Stubble and classical violinist Chiko Choko. Donald muses ....."I think Mozart had a rebellious spirit and liked potty humor, I do not think he was was afflicted" Having said that you are probably more likely to hear a version of Leck mich im Arsch (K. 231 /K382c) than one of his familiar pieces of work when Naked Mozart perform at Junkroom......Then again you might not hear anything even remotly related to Mozart!
Donald the Nut （Three Day Stubbleのメンバー）とクラシックバイオリニストChiko Chokoによる新コラボ。「モーツアルトは反骨精神があり下ネタジョークが好きだった。そんな音楽家が苦悩したとは思えない。」とDonaldはにやりとする。そうは言ってもJunkroomでのNaked Mozartのパフォーマンスは彼のいつもの音よりもLeck mich im Arsch (K. 231 /K382c：ドイツ語で「私の臀部を舐めなさい」の意)などが期待できるのではないかと思われる。もしくはまったくモーツアルトと関係ない演奏となるか..こうご期待！
Tim OliveBorn and raised on the Canadian prairies, began playing electric bass at 12, travelling 100 km every week to study music theory and buy 70's hard rock lps. Further listening brought exposure to blues, jazz, reggae, and punk rock. A move to "the city" and its record library revealed free jazz, early electronic music, and the music of Asia.
Efforts were made to accommodate this range of music within the limits of rock instrumentation, but eventually regular rhythms and tempered pitches were jettisoned in favor of open forms, improvisation, and exploration of the full sonic possibilities of steel strings and magnetic pickups, the instrument moving from chest to lap to tabletop, the number and diameter of strings varying periodically.
Extensive touring in North America, Europe and Japan has provided Tim Olive opportunities to play with a wide range of musicians including, most recently, Alfredo Costa Monteiro, Haco, Sharif Sehnaoui, and Martin Tetreault. More important, however, is the shared development afforded by longer playing/recording relationships with Jeffrey Allport, Kelly Churko, Bunsho Nisikawa (in the duo Supernatural Hot Rug And Not Used ), Phroq, Mike Shiflet, and Fritz Welch, as well as a duo with dancer Corrie Befort. ( Quoted from BricoLodge)
カナダの大草原に育ち、12才でエレキベースを始めた。 まずはロックに走ったがFree Jazzを聴きロック楽器の限界が明らかになった。結局、通常のリズムと神経質なピッチをスティールストリングと磁石ピックに組み合わせることにより完全な音の可能性を見出し、インプローブを探求して、ベースとベースギターを見捨てることとなる。北米、ヨーロッパおよび日本を広く旅行してきたことにより、Tim Oliveは幅広いジャンルのミュージシャンとの演奏経験を持つ。共演者の一例は以下の通り。Alfredo Costa Monteiro, ハコ, Sharif Sehnaoui, Martin Tetreault, Supernatural Hot Rug And Not Usedの西川文章など。
Cosmic KaiganBorn in Kyoto in 1973. Hamamoto Mitsuaki creates unique improvised performances using casiotone, guitar, and drums, etc. These improvised sonic sketches he performs, are made taking account of many factors including the weather, the space available and circumstances on the day of the performance.
1973年京都生まれ. ただの音楽好き濱本充彰によるcasiotone,ギター、ドラムなどを使った ひとり即興ライブパフォーマンス。 その日の天気や空間に合わせて、音で小宇宙をつくります。
MASH CUCUMBERMash Cucumber describe themselves as “spacy cuties” They come from Osaka. They’ll be at Junkroom, performing their songs with their special brand of dizzy dancing. The audience might be in for a bit of a surprise too (I’ve been informed!)
大阪出身の歌モノゆるゆるダンスユニット。 歌とダンスのパフォーマンス、サプライズはお楽しみ☆ 宇宙から来た不思議ちゃん。仲良くしてね☆
メス戌＆Co. / Mesuinu and CoWe have had a so many pop songs since the mid 20th century. mesuinu & co can be described as a place where more of those pop songs are stll born. The world is changing and shifting little by little, yet we, the singing Atsushi Iwata, the swinging Akihiro Yoshida and the chopping Kunihiko Iwata are always there. Sometimes other lovely musicians join us and bring the temperature of the place up or down. And again we still want to sing that song. The band has changed its charactaristics and has shifted in many directions but has now setlled as a soft Rock Band.
20世紀中頃からさんざん流されてきたポップソングがいまだに生まれ続ける場所。世界は少しづつずれていくというのに。飽きもせず。そこには、だいたいいつも うたう岩田篤とゆらぐ吉田明弘ときざむ岩田邦彦が居て、ほかにも素敵な演奏家たちが出たり入ったり。そのたび気温は上がったり下がったり。そして今日も、うたいたくなるのはあの歌。バンドは紆余曲折を経た後、岩田篤・吉田明弘・岩田邦彦を中心に拡散するちょっと体の柔らかいロックバンドという現在の形態に落ち着き、活動を続ける。
Bridget ScottBridget Scott, a Londoner, debuted in 1990 as a member of the Butoh group Katsura Kan and Saltimbanques.

Misuzu + Hiroyuki FuruyaMisuzu is a Dancer and Actor based in Nagoya. She trained as a ballet dancer in her childhood.
