ENG (electronoise group)

Radical free/spontaneous music/art ensemble, The Electronoise Group (ENG) founded in early 2006 by Japanese-American soundArtist, shotahirama. It is a group that are making concrete drone sounds with their free-improv expression and the ideas from "laptop" "noise" and "Art". Using laptop, tape-operation, and tape-loop, generated guitar, the project ideal is to express the content of various psycho pathological conditions, especially depressive psychosis, and paranoia. And also making an art design, a photomontage with strong attention to Dada and Bauhaus.

ENG was initially composed of shotahirama on tape-operation, Toshitaka Ikeda on guitar and shunjiTAKAMI on laptop. Musicians were free to join in, but such collaborations were often short-lived if the contributions were lacking the proper spirit or whatever. No ENG performance is ever planned; each is unique and spontaneous. The musicians vowed never to rehearse and never to discuss what they had played.
And the artists who joined in ENG were: shotahirama (2006-2009) Toshitaka Ikeda (2006-2008) shunjiTAKAMI (2006-2007) Kelly Churko (2009) Cal Lyall (2009) Taishin Inoue (2009) Blackphone666 (2009) Daisuke Kitabayashi from FPB (2008-2009) Monooka (2008) Darren McClure (2008) Yuji Kondo (2008) Emiko Shirayama (2008) Okamoto (2006-2007) shimizu aka Karel (2006-2007) Hasegawa (2006) Sachio Matsuda (2006) Linda Bjalla (2007) Sanpo Matsumoto (2007) Matsuoka from BAAAK BONKDOM (2007) Kendrien (2006-2007) Takano from APAP (2008) Gunji from Disk3 (2006)
