RUINS ALONE aka TATSUYA YOSHIDA

The Bird, 29th October 2024

$15 OTD / Pre-sales

ALT are honoured to present an unmissable performance by 吉田達也 (Tatsuya Yoshida), one of the most innovative drummers, composers, and improvisers in Japan’s avant-garde music scene. Known as the "devil from the East," Yoshida has contributed to shaping the underground scene with his virtuosic drumming and boundary-pushing musical projects.

A key figure in Japanese experimental music, Yoshida founded the renowned rhythm duo Ruins in 1985 and has since been involved in critically acclaimed groups such as Koenji Hyakkei, Zeni Geva and Acid Mothers Temple. The drummer has worked with the entire avant-garde 'hall of fame' of the last four decades, from Fred Frith and Derek Bailey to Keiji Haino and Otomo Yoshihide. John Zorn, who praised Tatsuya as an "undisputed master drummer of the Japanese underground," invited him to play in the seminal jazz/grindcore unit PainKiller on several occasions after Mick Harris' departure, and had a huge impact on Yoshida's recognition overseas.

Don't miss this rare opportunity to experience the raw, visceral energy of one of Japan’s most influential drummers live. Witness his unmatched drumming precision and inventive compositions. His ability to navigate between blistering speed and intricate rhythmic patterns is an experience to behold.
