From the Archive: Japanese Innovators with Ian F Martin

This week, we revisit a series of podcasts from June 2018 where we speak to a DJ, a writer and a record label, all showcasing their love and obsession with Japanese music. In the third and final episode in the series, we focus in on some of the pioneering Japanese music from the 1990s with Ian F Martin, author of 'Quit Your Band! Musical Notes from the Japanese Underground', as he takes us into the live music scene with some of Japan's most experimental and noise-based artists. This series was originally made to coincide with a series of gigs, featuring artists from the Japanese underground scene responsible for genre defining music from the groundbreaking electronics of Yellow Magic Orchestra to the sonic arts of Ryoji Ikeda and quirky Pop of Mariah. Produced by Ben Eshmade. Subscribe to Nothing Concrete on Acast, Spotify or wherever you find your podcasts.
