Tatsuya Nakatani
Tatsuya Nakatani is a master percussionist, avant-garden sound artist, composer, gong bower, and the leader of the Nakatani Gong Orchestra (NGO), whose membership is a temporary assemblage of local musicians gathered per location. Due to the nature of these performances, I don’t bother typically photograph his sets.
