Ngoshi

Ngoshi is the solo project of Shingo Ohno.

I originally started around 2002 under the name Merce Death, but a few years ago I changed the name to Ngoshi and have been working under that ever since.

What hasn’t changed since the beginning is my core approach: layering improvised performances using a looper—all by myself.
I started with the Boss RC-20, moved on to the RC-50, then around 2020 I switched to Loopy HD, and now I use Loopy Pro.

Since switching to Loopy, I’ve been able to perform without relying on power outlets, which has made it easier to record outdoors. Now I often take my gear out into public spaces—and sometimes even loop while riding a skateboard.

Recording indoors is way easier, of course.
But I enjoy the inspiration that comes from performing in different environments.
That’s a big part of why I continue to embrace improvisation whenever I play.
