DESCRIPTION:Japanese percussionist&nbsp\;<a href="http://www.mimaroglumusic
 sales.com/artists/seijiro+murayama.html">Seijiro Murayama</a>&nbsp\;first 
 made his name in the mid-80s as the explosive engine driving the brutally 
 ugly noise rock of Absolut Null Punkt with guitarist KK Null. (The group r
 eunited in 2004 and has since made several more albums.) He also played on
  the first proper release by Keiji Haino's blistering\, mystical Fushitsus
 ha\, a live double LP from 1989. So when I heard some of his recent work\,
  I was floored. Since moving to Paris in 1999\, Murayama has been immersed
  in improvised music\, much of it quiet\, serene\, and nonpercussive. On t
 he 2007 release&nbsp\;Hatali Atsalei&nbsp\;(Intransitive)&mdash\;a wonderf
 ully strange collaboration with French musique concrete artist Lionel Marc
 hetti\, according to its liner notes based on "Greek ritual music"&mdash\;
 he sings or makes weird vocal sounds more often than he does anything with
  a drum. On last year's&nbsp\;<a href="http://www.ftarri.com/ftarrilabel/9
 98/index.html">Space and Place</a>&nbsp\;(Ftarri)\, a duo with Tokyo multi
 -instrumentalist Soundworm (credited here with sound engineering and "sugg
 estions")\, he creates unidentifiable friction sounds as well as gusting d
 rones dominated by electronically enhanced cymbals and other metal objects
 \, both bowed and struck. His most recent album with American sound artist
  Michael Northam\, the 2009 disc&nbsp\;Moriendo Renascor(Xing-Wu)\, is so 
 heavily processed and edited it's hard to tell what Murayama played or how
 &mdash\;Northam began with what he calls "composted recordings" made in Li
 sbon\, Portugal\, and Astoria\, Oregon\, fusing Murayama's muted metallic 
 clatter with digitally transmogrified environmental sounds to create hypno
 tizing atmospheres that twinkle\, glow\, hover\, and throb. See also&nbsp\
