Baiyon

Japanese audio and visible artist Baiyon (aka Tomohisa Kuramitsu) is usually an integral part of Osaka’s anything-goes noise and electronica moments, taking part in gigs and appearing about compilations with famous brands Melt Banana and Satanicpornocultshop. Unlike these functions, nevertheless, Baiyon’s music — which he produces by combining field recordings with eight-bit noises and manipulating video-game potato chips — is really as apt to be delicately playful since it is usually noisy and volatile. He started painting and producing music in 1998. A couple of years later on, he founded the mind Get away Sandwich Recordings label and released some EPs, including Mixed Waste materials and Jusco Punk, a cooperation with musician/filmmaker Hans Fjellestad. Fjellestad included a monitor by Baiyon around the soundtrack of his 2004 documentary Moog. Like a visible artist, Kuramitsu passed the name Damp Side and used his organic, squiggly method of from paintings and posters to T-shirts, underwear, and series of copyright-free images.
