PhilaMOCA welcome a collaborate musical project between Acid Mothers Temple leader Makoto Kawabata, Tim Dahl (Lydia Lunch), and special guest drummer Simeon Cain (Rollins Band, Ween)!
This November, a collaborative music tour between guitarist Makoto Kawabata (Acid Mothers Temple) and bassist Tim Dahl (Lydia Lunch, Child Abuse) will hit the American Mid-Atlantic and Northeast, promising rock intensity, avant-garde design, and psychedelic perception. With a combination of predetermined material and improvisation, one can expect a focused yet unpredictable and dynamic sonic experience. This collaboration will take audiences on a journey through chaotic, noise-infused passages that suddenly give way to moments of serene beauty, showcasing variety, creativity, and fearlessness. Each night's concert will be enriched by the distinctive styles of a notable regional guest drummer, adding fresh, unpredictable elements to the performance. Audiences should expect a whirlwind of sound that pushes the boundaries of conventional music and celebrates the expression of unrestrained artistry.
Kawabata Makoto
Guitarist and multi-instrumentalist. Leader of the psychedelic rock band Acid Mothers Temple.
While he's best known for his earsplitting, speed guru guitar heroics with AMT, he's also the founder of his own school of ecstatic guitar drone using bowing and glissando techniques.
Kawabata first started releasing works for electronics and homemade instruments in 1978. Since then his activities have been almost too wideranging to grasp: he has formed multiple units, released a plenitude of albums on labels all over the world, toured extensively in Europe, the US and Asia.
His collaborations truly span multiple genres. He has played with psychedelic originators like Gong, Guru Guru, Silver Apples, Nik Turner, Damo Suzuki, Träd Gräs och Stenar, and Geoff Leigh; with avant-garde giants including Keiji Haino, Tatsuya Yoshida, Charles Hayward, Jean-François Pauvros, Richard Youngs and Tatsuya Nakatani; and with Occitan trad musicians including Rosina de Peira, Marc Perrone, Andre Minvielle, and Beatritz.
In 2019 he began to perform and create new works for modular synthesizers, a return to the electronic music that was the origin point of his musical career. He has also worked as a producer and mixing engineer for many bands and musicians, including Fursaxa, maquiladora, Hibushibire, and squimaoto.
