RUiNS ALONE, Free Forms and other music delights in Brno

Tatsuya Yoshida, one of most innovative drummers on Japan avant-garde scene, will play two concerts in Czech Republic as RUiNS ALONE! Composer, improviser and multi-instrumentalist Yoshida started playing music in early 80s, influenced by mystic French group Magma. In 1985, he founded RUINS, a duo of drums, bass guitar and vocals. RUINS are a unique fusion of contemporary music, hard-core and progressive rock. They soon became known all over the world and toured dozens of countries. For many avant-garde bands they were and still are a huge authority and an unattainable role model. RUINS have since existed in several variations, RUINS ALONE being one of them. Yoshida has played and continues to play with many other groups such as Koenji Hyakkei, Korekyojin, Zeni Geva, Samla Mammas Manna, Painkiller, Cicala Mvta, Acid Mothers Gong, YB02, or in conjunction with individual musicians from around the world. These have included John Zorn, Haino Keiji, Richard Pinhas, Fred Frith, Otomo Yoshihide, Derek Bailey, Charles Hayward, among others.
