+Kazehito Seki is a Voiz (Non-FX Voice Noise) performer who seeks for the sharpest sound by running about between Noise (Abstract / Nerves) and Hardcore (Concrete / Muscle). His voice with a couple of microphones with NO electronic FX shows a wide spectrum, not only emotional screams but as an instrument, oscillating between subtle sinewaves and brutal harsh noise in a microsecond. For more than a decade in Tokyo’s sonic ghetto culture, Kazehito has been blasting his voice in a hardcore band called Omawarisan. After several years of fusing voice with electronic noises, in 2012 started his solo activity without electronics, besides joining in a Voiz group called Tokyo Voiz Choir organaized by William Tokuhisa. In the same year, toured in Korea with his two bands. In 2015 toured in EU, had 40 live shows, several WSs recordings, sessions, at LUFF (CH), Radio Panik (BE), MultiMadeira (PT), etc. In 2016, he has several releases such as, a full length: “LASTDOMAINWORLDVOICEOFF” by his experimental noise rock band: Ameri B.C, a split work as his new feedback project: Self Toxication with BEEATSZ v2.0x (TR). He also teaches training and keeping the voice safe, because after all – the voice is and was (always) the primordial instrument.

Also das eine mal als ich dort bei Noiseberg war, da waren außer den drei Musikanten und mir nur noch der Barchef und ein Gast da, der aber im selben Haus wohnt
Den 16.01. habe ich verpasst. Auf den folgenden 2 Konzerten waren es aber schöne Runden, für die Orte jeweils passend. Greenhouse war besonders spannend von den Kollaborationen her. Jetzt geht es erstmal in Regensburg, DK und FR weiter.
