Live recording of the solo deluge set at Kyoto Mingle.

Artwork by me also.

Deluge solo set @ Mingle Kyoto 20240707

Composer/Percussionist/Pianist/Producer based in between Berlin and Aotearoa/NZ
Industrial-Tribalism / Avant-Electronic / Neo-Noise / Ambient

Digital//anything in between//Analogue

a musical kaleidoscope that is one part percussionist, one part keyboardist, one part composer, one part producer, and all parts unforgettable. Expect: intricate keyboard playing, bold expression, complexity, simplicity, and a wild ride.

Tak is a class act that has worked with other class acts such as Shackleton, Strike Percussion, Nik Nowak, David Delgado, Jepe, Matilda Abraham, Samin Son and 404. As well as recording and touring with these artists, he’s released several albums of his own music and had a track on Spotify that had over a million downloads, which may not be as big a deal these days but I promise it was impressive at the time.

He was born in Japan, raised in Aotearoa and now lives in Germany. He also performed in London, Helsinki, Tokyo and Shanghai along the way.

You probably don’t want to miss this musical kaleidoscope perform.
