NOBODY HERE

There are no constraints on the human mind, no walls around the human spirit... Our greatest human adventure is the evolution of consciousness. We are in this life to enlarge the soul, liberate the spirit, and light up the brain.

KK NULL / Aria, acqua, fuoco, terra

KK NULL (real name : KAZUYUKI KISHINO) was born in Tokyo, Japan. Composer, guitarist, singer, mastermind of ZENI GEVA. One of the top names in Japanese noise music and in a larger context, one of the great cult artists in experimental music since the early 80′s.

In 1981 KK NULL studied at Butoh dancer, Min Tanaka’s “Mai-Juku” workshop and started his career by performing guitar improvisations in the clubs in Tokyo. He continued by collaborating with MERZBOW for two years, and joining the band YBO2 (with Masashi Kitamura, the chief editer of “Fool’s Mate” magazine and Tatsuya Yoshida, the drummer of RUINS) and starting the improvised noise/rock trio ABSOLUT NULL PUNKT (with Seijiro Murayama, the original drummer of Keiji Haino’s FUSHITSUSHA), and also GEVA2 (GEVA GEVA) with Tatsuya Yoshida (RUINS) and Eye Yamatsuka (BOREDOMS)

In 1985 he established his own label NUX ORGANIZATION to produce & release his own works and subsequently the bands such as MELT-BANANA and SPACE STREAKINGS. He also produced the series of “Dead Tech” (compilation albums by Japanese bands) which heralded Japanese alternative music boom internationally from the early 90′s to date.

In the early 90′s he gained world-wide recognition as the mastermind, guitarist and singer of the progressive hardcore band ZENI GEVA, releasing five albums produced by STEVE ALBINI (two on Jello Biafra’s Alternative Tentacles label) and a few more on other labels such as NEUROSIS’s Neurot Recordings. Also ZENI GEVA recorded twice for JOHN PEEL SESSION on BBC, and immensely toured throughout Europe, USA, Australia, New Zealand and Japan, playing hundreds of concerts.

All the while, KK NULL has worked on his solo career and collaborated with other musical innovators such as Z’EV, CHRIS WATSON, KEIJI HAINO, JON ROSE, MATMOS, FRED FRITH to name a few, and has been invited to perform at international festivals such as “Presences Électronique” in Paris (France), “Sonar” in Barcelona (Spain), “All Tomorrow’s Parties UK“, “Radar” in Mexico City (Mexico), “International Sound Art Festival” in Mexico City (Mexico), “Sergey Kuryokhin International Festival (SKIF-6 & 8)” in St.Petersburg & Moscow (Russia), “Elevate” in Graz (Austria), “X-peripheria” in Budapest (Hungary), “Liquid Architecture” in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane (Australia), “Totally Huge New Music Festival” in Perth (Australia), “Avanto Helsinki Media Art Festival” in Helsinki (Finland), “Roadburn” in Tilburg (Holland), “International Festival Musique Actuelle” in Victoriaville (Canada), “Electron” in Geneve (Switzerland), and more.

After playing the guitar as his main instrument for nearly thirty years, KK NULL has gradually moved towards a more electronic approach. Since the late 90′s he has concentrated his efforts on his solo & collaborative recordings, exploring the outer territories of electronica, creating intense clashing wave of noise, structured electro-acoustic ambience, broken down rhythmics, scattered pitch sculptures, droning isolationist material which could be described “cosmic noise maximal/minimalism”.

本名：岸野一之（キシノ カズユキ）。東京生まれ。プログレッシヴ・ハードコア・ロックバンド ZENI GEVA（ゼニゲバ）のリーダー、ヴォーカリスト、ギタリストにして作曲家、エレクトロニクス他マルチ楽器奏者。1980年代初期より活動を始め、日本のノイズ・ミュージック・シーンのみならず、世界屈指のカルト的なアーティストのひとりである。

1981年、舞踏家田中泯が主宰する舞踏ワークショップ「舞塾」修了後、ギター・インプロヴァイザーとして活動を始め、ソロ活動と並行してメルツバウとのコラボレーション、ハナタラシへのライヴ参加、YBO2のギタリストやインプロヴァイズド・ロックトリオ ANPのリーダーとして活躍。また吉田達也（ルインズ）、山塚アイ（ボアダムス）と’87-’88年の間結成していた伝説のバンドGEVA2（ゲバゲバ）での活動もある。

1985年、レーベルNUXオーガニゼーションを設立し、自作のみならずメルトバナナやスペースストリーキングス等バンドのプロデュース、さらには日本のオルタナティヴバンドを初めて海外へ紹介したオムニバスレコード『DEAD TECH』シリーズをプロデュースし、アメリカとドイツのレーベルより共同リリースする等、早くより海外を視野に入れた活動を展開する。

1987年、ZENI GEVA（ゼニゲバ）を結成、90年には初のUSAツアーを行い、スティーヴ・アルビニをプロデューサーに迎えてアルバム『全体去勢』を制作。その後アルビニと共同制作したZENI GEVAのアルバムは5枚を数え、アメリカとヨーロッパを中心に精力的に海外コンサート・ツアーを行ない、イギリスBBCの「ジョン・ピール・セッション」にも2回出演。

バンド活動と同様ソロおよびコラボレーションも活発で、KK NULL個人としてこれまでにライヴ共演またはレコーディングを行なった主要なアーティストは、スティーヴ・アルビニ、フレッド・フリス、ジョン・ローズ、アレクセイ・ボリソフ、ビル・ホリスト、ゼヴ、クリス・ワトソン、ダニエル・メンシェ、ジョン・ウィーズ、マトモス、秋田昌美（メルツバウ）、吉田達也（ルインズ）、灰野敬二、山本精一等枚挙にいとまがない。

近年はギター中心の音創りからより純粋なエレクトロニック・サウンドへと移行し、いわゆるノイズという一言では括りきれない多角的かつ重層的アプローチで深遠な電子音響世界を創造し、そのユニークなサウンドは、「ミクロ宇宙からマクロ宇宙までを網羅し、銀河の果てからはらわたの中までをリンクする」と形容され、「コスミック・ノイズ・ミニマリズム」等とも表現されている。海外の音楽及びアート・フェステイバルへの出演も多く、国際的評価は高まる一方である。またこれまでにリリースされた作品は（バンド、コラボレーションも含め）100タイトル以上に及ぶ。
