POST ROCK
- 'Hokane' is a collection of musical and visual short stories, written,
performed, and drawn by AKI TSUYUKO.
- This is the first in a series of books that THRILL JOCKEY will be
releasing, with upcoming artists in the series including DANIEL HIGGS and
THOMAS CAMPBELL.
- Tsuyuko was born in Gifu, Japan, in 1974. She began taking electronic
organ lessons when she was a child. In her late teens, Tsuyuko discovered
and was influenced by ERIC SATIE's piano pieces. She began to play these
pieces on electronic organ, interpreting them in her own way. It was through
this process that Tsuyuko got into her own music and composition.
- In the mid 90's, she sent her music to NOBUKAZU TAKEMURA, which lead
to release of her music and years of collaboration between the two musicians.
- Aki Tsuyuko has performed WITH TORTOISE, SONIC YOUTH, JIM O'ROURKE,
BROKEBACK, YO LA TENGO, and ARTO LINDSAY.
- 'Hokane' is a 48 page 4-color 6X8" hardbound book with drawings
and computer collages created by Aki Tsuyoko.
- It is a limited edition of 2,000 copies Aki plays organ and sings;
her delicate vocals and melodies are exotic and whimsical
- Execution of Hokane recalls that of MATTHEW HERBERT's recent release,
'Plat du Jour'.
