Solo performances for percussion have always been at the centre of Keiji Haino's art. In them, Haino deploys a huge variety of handheld percussion, from tiny cymbals, bells and gongs, to tambourines, jagged pieces of metal and Harry Bertoia-esque specially-made resonating sculptures. These performances, legendarily intense present the crystallization of the physicality of Haino's music, his attitude to rhythm, to the persistence of sound itself. Though relatively rare now, these solo percussion concerts always have a special hushed atmosphere of concentration, silent communion, and mystery.
