Biography
Keiji Haino (灰野敬二) born 1952, May 3, in Chiba, Japan, and currently residing in Tokyo, is a Japanese avant-garde musician / shaman whose work has included rock, free jazz, noise, singer-songwriter, avant-folk, blues, solo percussion, drone and electronica, among others, always keeping the experimentalism and psychedelia at the highest levels possible.
He has been active since the 1970s and continues to record regularly and in new styles. His main instruments of choice have been guitar and vocals, with many other instruments and approaches incorporated into his career's work. Haino is known for intensely cathartic sound explorations, and much of his work bears an insular singularity, but his output has been so varied as to not always be recognizable as him.
